Jira Cloud Automation : how to refer to the person who updates a ticket

[Philippe Gallet]

I would like to trigger an action when an issue is updated by the issues's reporter but I don't find the way to refer to the person who updates a ticket

I tried the following condition without any success :

then ....

Thank you for your help
