SharePoint 2013 workflow issue

Question

We are developing custom workflow in our SharePoint 2013 project using Visual studio 2013. We have got one issue while updating list items in the custom workflow.

Modified By field is changed to System Account while updating item. It is not done with elevated privilege or with user token. How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

You can use item.SystemUpdate() when updating the item.

This will not cause the Modified By field to change.
