Change the "created by user ID" property to user's names

Please change the “created by user ID” property to user’s names, as opposed to user’s id, and include “Hubspot” as an option as well to:

- be able to easily filter records accordingly

- be able to create lists accodingly

- be able to filter records created automatically by the system; like companies created off of contacts records’ domains, which usually needs to be edited

- be able to extract reports out of the property

It, simply, just makes more sense!

+1. This would be a lot easier if it showed the names instead of the user IDs.

I agree this would make more sense.
We would like to report on who created companies and this would be much more helpful

I would like to see this change as well. When I try to use the User ID in a report, it doesn’t yield the correct data.

Agree - it would be way better to have the possibility to filter by names rather than IDs. Thank you!

I am trying to make a workflow to do that exact task but I can’t because the data types are different. So not only can I not do a simple worlfow work around, I have to figure out a conversion as well. Hubspot, you are really doing a number here on the basic data fields stored in the system.

I need to know how many contacts/companies each user creates and can not do it this way! This makes zero sense why we can’t have created by “name” and not user id!!! Please fix.

When I try to filter on this field HubSpot seems to think it is a number, even though it displays a name and email. I do not know what that number is so I can’t do any filtering on this field. Dashboard reporting is also not helpful as a result. Please fix!


Why is this a number?
