Dynamic display of Record Names

@arpitb To the best of my knowledge, it should be possible but the answer really depends on how you would like to associate the record name with the user(i.e. would you like to drive it from the database or drive within the scope of Appian) and your existing implementation(Source of Record Type and Database design).

If the source of Record Type is Entity Backed, you may be do something similar to the example at https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.2/Record_Level_Security_for_Entity_Backed_Records_Best_Practice.html. In this example we tie the Record to a User whereas in your scenario we will additionally tie the record name to the User.

If the name is something that can't be formed within DB and you are only able to frame it in the context of Appian, opt for Service-Backed Records(if you are making use of Process Backed or Entity Backed, you can switch to Expression Backed and documentation at https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.8/Records_Tutorial.html#Create_Service-Backed_Records should be a good starting point) and update the record name in/or add the record name to the resultant dataset based on the loggedInUser() and then feed the Record Type with results.

Keeping the possibility aside, I would suggest giving thoughts over the validity of the requirement. Wouldn't it be simple if you hold a reference which will be the same to all and always shown as name/title and then show an additional name/title on the dashboards or reports based on the logged in user?

I believe that even the above-mentioned solution may not be 100% clean. For instance when a news post is made by tagging a record from this kind of Record Type, what would be the name that appears on Record Tag or a Record Card?
