I suspect you want the Transaction object's CreatorObj which will be the user who made the change.  Transactions don't tend to be updated, so LastUpdatedByObj should be the same as CreatorObj

-kevin

I'm not sure that would work. The case could be like this:
User A selects a value for Field1
User B selects a value for Field2
User A reselects a value for Field2

If I understand what you've said, then my test would "pass" because the values were initially chosen (created) by different users. But I really want the above to "fail".

Or is that CreatorObj new every time the transaction happens?
