Auto-fill created_by field

[Pushpanjali]

@DMehaffy

Those fields are only populated if the entry was created in the Admin panel (it’s a relation to the strapi_administrators model that comes from the strapi-admin package). For REST/GraphQL you’ll need to add your own fields, and likewise probably customize the controller (or create a route policy) to populate them.

Hi @DMehaffy, I am also trying to populate the created_by and updated_by field from API in strapi but it is not getting populated.

Code : Getting users from /api/users
const getUserDetails = async () => {
await fetch(/api/users, {
method: “GET”
}).then(res => res.json()).then(data => {
if(data.length > 0) {
setUser(data);
} else {
setUser(‘’);
}
});
};

Can these field of created by and updated by be populated from the /api/users collection ? As I was trying to get the users from the “Users” collection and trying to populate the above fields but its not populating any value giving null. Can you please help me on how I can populate the details using API. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
