Orphaned container inventory report with Creators name

If migrating Orphaned containers to a SharePoint site after the tool is updated with Creator of Orphaned videos, will the "Created By" metadata be updated in destination SP site library post migration? Is there a way to search the video by Name of the original creator?

Also when is this update available from? The update in inventory report script and Migration tool?

    Scraping Stream classic to find the names of orphaned video creators is a remnant of data. If the person has left and they are no longer licensed in your tenant, there will be no person to associate them with upon migration. Therefore, the tool will put in an admin account name. This is a common scenario with any kind of data migration in M365. The user must be a licensed user for them to be mapped to and their name displayed after migration.

      karen_dredske That is true and cannot be mapped to an actual User type field after migration to SharePoint. However Stream Classic report is expected to provide this information in a future update. Question is, can the migration bring the Creator info in a single line text kind of field to Destination SharePoint. Creator no longer in the Org doesn't invalidate the original content. The videos are in active use. Our scenario requires to find who was the original owner and the department who owns the video.
