Description

I am currently working on a QGIS 2.14 and i am trying to us the built in variables to populate the user field with the system name of the user logging making the edit on the feature attribute. I have used the UUID generator and it has proved helpful but at every time I try to use either of @user_full_name or @user_account_name I get a crash dump.

We are currently working on an open source migration meaning that we are moving our products from proprietary to open source and this functionality is a very important one for us because we work as a team and we need to track who is making changes to our data within the organization.

Thanks ahead,
Ayodele Adeyemo

I've fixed the crash, but please note that this WILL NOT do what you are trying to do. The relation reference widget expression is just a formatting change, it will NOT save these values to the database. In addition it will always show the current user for ALL features.

What you are looking for is #12492 - but that's not implemented yet.

Please i dont understand what you are saying about it not saving into the the database( Do you mean the table?). Basically what I am trying to do is to do something like what the UUID generator does for its assigned field with the @user_full_name. Not necessarily through the relation reference widget expression. I will appreciate any help on this please.

Thanks for the support.
