Allow "system" transactions to he attributed to a named user

How: Be able to change the Context.Username so that new versions are tagged with that name

Why: As an extension processes and writes to fields the fields are tagged as being updated by "system". This is unhelpful when looking through field histories

For Who: Extension writers who write systems which update entities in response to user requests.

Impact: Clearly logging

Additional context: This is what happens through the REST API already i.e. the system updates the field at the request of the user who "Saved" on the UI.


Please, add your suggestion and feedback above to add to the insights used by Product team when deciding priorities and direction of the Inriver PIM.
