Hey there,

I have a problem and I can not fix it by my self.
I am working with Nintex Forms 2013.
Goal: I want to save the creator of a new form by the calculated value.
Momentary state: I have a calculated value. The formula is "CurrentUser"
Problem: Every time someone edits the form, the field updates the "CurrentUser" but I want that the Creator of the form will be saved and the field never changes the content.
And now I don't want to use a People Picker happy.png 
Is it possible to save the creator of the form via the Callculated Value field?

The simplest way to approach this would be to change how the calculated field is calculating. 

Because I have no idea if your Calculated Control is actually hooked up to a Column, I've configured it as if it is linked to a Single Line Text Column. 

While the formula might change slightly to meet your own needs, the configuration of the Control is the important part. I have highlighted the important part.

The Formula is as follows: 

userProfileLookup({Common:CurrentUser}, "PreferredName")‍

Configuring your control in this way means that it will ONLY grab the current user when the Form Mode is set to New, and will simply re-use the value of the control in any other mode, resulting in a one-time population. 

I hope that this helps.
