Hi Guys,

Need help.  Trying to set a dynamic field for capturing the current logged in user to be used in a view.

I have tried both a computed field and by using default attribute and unable to set the record with the currently logged in user.

Code:
cur_user = fields.Many2one('res.users','Approved By', default=_get_user_id)

  @api.one

def _get_user_id(self):

    return self.env.uid

I have also tried setting the uid directly in the default attribute as follows:

cur_user = fields.Many2one('res.users','Approved By', default=lamba self:self.env.uid)

and various other variations on this.  but no luck.

I have a field displayed in the view which does not show up the user name:

Current User: <field name="cur_user" />

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Damien
