Hi,

I updated multiple records at the same time, I test "Rule!" it working fine.

I also "enable activity chaining", but it did not update username properly but updated as "Appian Administrator"

do you have any suggestion?

Thanks,

Ok.  So as we already said, "loggedinuser()" will not work as you're expecting in the context of a process model - it's really only made to be used on interfaces.

If you want "rule!getMultipleRecord()" to observe the user who initiated the process, you'll need to add a rule input to the rule and pass pp!initiator into the rule's input where it's called in your process model.

What are you using to set the value of the username, and where? (I'm guessing fn!loggedInUser() and in a process model)

I'm using this

user(loggedInUser() ,"firstName") & " "&user(loggedInUser() ,"lastName")

loggedInUser() isn't for use in a process model context.  You should look into using pp!initiator instead, or adding a user PV parameter to the process and passing in a value.
