_cby and _mby are NULL by default?

[ronaldaug]

I'm not quite sure this is intentional or a bug.

When creating a new item using the user key USR-1234567890 through REST API, the _cby and _mby fields are saved as NULL, instead of the user ID of who created that item.

Steps to Reproduce

• Cloned the latest develop branch
• Created a new model
• Sent a POST request via REST API /api/content/item/{model}
• And create a new item using the user key under every user's profile The response showed the following:

{
    "title": "Test post",
    "description": "Test post description",
    "_state": 1,
    "_modified": 1714704858,
    "_mby": null,
    "_created": 1714704858,
    "_cby": null,
    "_id": "5bbd652d30666595f5000208"
}

Expected Behavior

The _mby and _cby fields should contain the user ID of the user who created the item, not null.
