Is there any way to change the Process Initiator of the process?
Query:
We have exposed our process model as a web service and we are providing a Appian Test user id initiator access, so when ever we trigger the process, In the process instance dashboard From column is pointing to that test id.(Find attached for quick reference)
I too agree we can change the process instance dashboard From column to the desired name by giving it expression editor but is there any other way to change the process initiator dynamically?

The initiator can not be changed. Best pratice is to not use the pp!initiator field for display, but a PV. So you could initially write the pp!initiator to the PV and change it later.

Hi Palani,

Do not assign a process to Initaitor in the User Input Task...Use a Process variable

There are two ways... You can have a single process variable in a User input task and before that in a Script task output you can put a if() condition and make your expression der....

Or you can directly make a expression in User Input Task .. by a if()
