How to use Javascript to set the logon user (authenticated user) as default OWNER?
I have a Javascript that based on certain WorkItemAttributes.TYPE, it sets a specific user to the WorkItemAttributes.OWNER, otherwise, I would like to use the logon user (i.e., 'authenticated user' seen in Customization attribute for User) to be the default OWNER. So how do I get the UUID of the logon user/authenticated user using Javascript?

Not sure whether you can get the UUID, but using JavaScript to get the current logged on user was quite a popular topic in the forum in the past. See the answers in these post for code snippets.
