Show which user modified a contact

[twalker]

Does the Contacts API show the user who last updated a contact?  I see hs_updated_by_user_id but it is always null in my environments even after making a change to a contact in HubSpot.  My integration needs to know who last updated a contact.

Hey @twalker , I believe there is some work being done on this property specifically for the contact object.  It was also hidden in the UI as it was causing some confusion. 

If you check for a company, it will show the ID of the user who last modified it.

@MatthewShepherd , @jpsanchez do you all have any clever workarounds?

Hi @twalker and @dennisedson 

Yes, unfortunately, I'm seeing the hs_updated_by_user_id property not being updated in contact records too. Until that is corrected, the best I can suggest is to check the 'updatedUserId' attribute against a range of different contact properties, as those do seem to be populated with IDs when property field values are changed.
