Add new record with custom createdById

[MaxDau]

I would like to create a new entry via a hook / job. When I trigger the hook as user X, the createdById is the ID of user X, although I specified createdById of user Y when creating the entry.

As an example, when I create a note.

$this->entityManager->createEntity('Note', [
"createdById" => "6387c5807e6d7db4a", //User Y
"post" => $post,
"type" => Note::TYPE_POST,
"parentId" => $this->getId(),
"parentType" => $this->getEntityType(),
"relatedId" => $entity->getId(),
"relatedType" => $entity->getEntityType()
]);​ 

In my case, the Id is 1 for Admin.

You can pass Options to the createEntity with specific options check this out https://docs.espocrm.com/development/orm/#store-entity, try this code below instead:

$options = [
'skipHooks' => true, // skip all hooks; workflows, formula will be ignored
'silent' => true, // workflows will be ignored, modified fields won't be changed
'skipCreatedBy' => true, // createdBy won't be set with current user
'createdById' => true, // override createdBy Probably this is the option you need the most to override createdById
];

$this->entityManager->createEntity('Note', [
"createdById" => "6387c5807e6d7db4a", //User Y
"post" => $post,
"type" => Note::TYPE_POST,
"parentId" => $this->getId(),
"parentType" => $this->getEntityType(),
"relatedId" => $entity->getId(),
"relatedType" => $entity->getEntityType()
], $options);​​

Hope this helps
