Hello Community,
It has been a standard for a while to store usernames in audit fields in Appian apps. A while back Appian added the ability for users to change their username.
I am just looking to see if this changed your approach for audit fields.

As the username is the only value to identify a user, I would not change that pattern.
I agree, no reason to make things more complicated than they should be. But unfortunately we don't always get to make the final decision. Humor me and lets go down this path with the idea that the product owner is determined to have the ability to change a user name.
