Parsing OSUser() or UserID to display on front end table

Hello everyone - 

I have a script in my data load editor to loop through my file directory to grab the meta data for a document (doc size, name, URL, who it was uploaded by).

When a user uploads a document, using a developed extension, I am currently grabbing the UserID by using subfield(OSUser(), '=',2) on a table which gives me the value "JOHN.DOE"

Now, when the app is refreshed, the record of data now displays "sa_scheduler" instead of the actual userID. Is there a way to show explicitly the userID?

Hello @ymcmb 

For which purpose are you trying to get this information ?
What does the developed extension use as a source to show the value ? If that is who last modified the file, then it's not something that it's going to preserved by default in Qlik Sense, you should consider to store this information somewhere else to be able to refer to.
