Today the portal can identify the user who creates a new record and store the data in the “Link to Another Record” column.

However, I would like to have the possibility to store in a column the user who edits the data. Would it be possible to provide this option?

In my case, we have created a portal whose registration will have two steps:  
1- Creation by users; (one or more people - creator gets stored in the Linked Record Field).  
2- Validation by analysts; (one or more people - we would like to store which analyst has validated the record created, without prejudice to the other analysts being able to view the information)

Is it possible?

@Abdul just tagging onto this thread - as well as what @amanda.teodoro has requested above - which i have a huge use-case for (and my workaround involves them having to enter their name and run a bunch of automations to clear the name), is there anyway to log when someone has accessed/logged in to the portal. At the moment, i have email verification turned on, but it would be great if everytime they logged in, it modified a field in airtable so we can see when they last accessed (ie: text field which we then have a ‘last modified’ formula running alongside it)

Thanks!!!
