Hey thanks Admire,

We love your 'Bring it on!' attitude just when you are already in the thick
of it ;-)

Personally I think QGIS can jump through every hoop and more, but *you
asked* so I'll share my current sukkel.

I like it that we can fill a new object/record/field with a Default value
in the Edit Widget properties dialogue out of Layer properties>Fields.
Specifically I can call an environment variable such as @user_full_name -
very useful to see who added that new object.  But now I'd like to know who
performed the most recent edit on that item, i.e. auto re-populate a field
when an edit is saved...surely when it can perform this task (or perhaps it
already does) then QGIS can be complete!

Best wishes for the new release and thanks for all the help!
