[5.x]: Issue with “Last Edited By” column in Multi-Country Setup

What happened?

Description

We’re experiencing an issue with how the “Last Edited By” column display in our multi-country Craft CMS setup.

• Our site uses a template duplicated across multiple countries.
• In the entry list view, the “Last Edited By” column shows the last editor globally, regardless of which country’s entry is being managed.
• This is causing confusion among our agents, since edits made in one country appear under other countries’ entries.
• As a temporary measure, we have disabled the “Last Edited By” columns, but ideally, we would like to display the correct, context-specific information instead of removing these column.

Questions:

• Is this expected behavior in Craft CMS when working with duplicated entries across multiple countries?
• Is there a way to filter or scope “Last Edited By” so they reflect only the relevant editors within that country/section?
• If not, is there any workaround or upcoming fix planned to address this?

We’d appreciate your guidance on how best to resolve this, as our team finds this information useful but currently misleading.

The report concerns the entry-list “Last Edited By” column in a multi-country setup; start by reproducing it with duplicated templates in Craft Pro 5.8.17 on PHP 8.2 and MySQL. Verify whether the displayed editor is scoped to the current country, then document the expected behavior and a reproducible fix or confirmed workaround.
