   Field name, which is automatically set to the uid of the backend user
   (uid of the table :sql:`be_users`) who originally created the record.
   It is never modified again.

   By convention the name :ref:`cruser_id <field_cruser_id>`

      The database field configured in this property is created automatically.
      It does not have to be added to the :file:`ext_tables.sql`.
