Can you trust the Initiator smart variable?

In at least one case, you can't, and your Audit Log won't be accurate.

Read more about this lack of functionality and vote to have this problem fixed here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AUTO-2046

In that suggestion I also discuss the relationships between rule Owners, Actors and Initiators.

Thanks for sharing the JAC ticket as I wasn't aware of this strange behavior. Hopefully it eventually gets implemented but we need more votes (only at four as of 2025-09-08).
