How can I add automatically name of the current user to the record

Question

How can I add automatically name of the current user to the record if user create a record (warehouse/products).
I can add:
'user_id': fields.many2one("res.users", "Created by", required=True,),
field but user needs to pick his name from list. I would like to be done automatically.
Without any user action.

Hi,

By default, orm save in create_uid, create_date the creator of the record with date
and in the write_uid, write date, the last user which edit the record...

Else you can add a default value default_user_id = uid in the action or directly in the model python with a lambda

_defaults = {
'user_id': lambda self, cr, uid, ctx: uid,
}

Yes and that's what i've done. Added only <field="write_uid" readonly="1"/> and it work fine but this option with _defaults = {} looks more professional :)
Thank you :)
