Versioning of an Item

Question

When a different user creates the version of the item ,the creator of the current revision remains same as the first version. In my case I want to change the creator to the person who actually created it.How to achieve it ? AnyBody?

Hello, 
 The created_by_id is a system property that automatically gets set when the first version of an item is created. It's also not possible to edit this property once it's created. 
 There's a couple different approaches you could take instead of using the created_by_id to achieve the same result. If this is an automatically versioned item instead of a manually versioned item, you could simply label the modified_by_id property as the creator and look at that instead. modified_by_id is another system property that points to the user that made the most recent change to the item. For automatically versioned items, this should always point to the user who created that version. 
 If this is a manually versioned item, you could instead add your own custom property like version_created_by with some custom logic in an onBeforeVersion event to set this property to the user making the change.
