Hi all, the
Set Created By Field
option seems to be missing on the table Settings in Astra. Is there a different way to go about this in Astra?

Hi Ryan, We are working on bringing this feature back! As of right now, the best way to do it is set up ownership permissions on your connected users table and set the "Auto select if one option available" check box on the create form. • https://docs.stackerhq.com/stacker/customize-layouts/create-form#advanced-form-settings-0-3 Will let you know when the proper feature is released!

I'm not sure I really understand. Right now, we have a text field to store the name of the person who created the record. In this case, I'd need another table with all the users in it and that have a relation to that table?

You wouldn't necessarily need another table, you would need a new linked field to connect to the users table, if you do not have a table that is defined as your users table, then yes you would need a new one. Then this new linked field is set to "Auto Select if one option available" on the create forms. You do need your permissions to be set as the ownership filter for this to work.

So I've added a Users table (sync'd from Airtable) which is now a linked field on the Notes table. I added roles and group table for each role. I set a permission to only read from the User table. I selected "Auto Select if one option available" on the New layout of notes. I switched to a user with a Role that applies to the User table and the linked field wasn't auto selected. What am I missing?

Hey Ryan, we have actually just released the new auto fill feature for Stacker Tables (coming soon for other data sources). Will send you a video of how it works!
