          You can achieve this by using your own custom model and [eloquent models events](https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent).

1. Create a new model class like this (untested):

namespace App\Models;

class YourStatusModel extends \Spatie\ModelStatus\Status

public static function boot()
{
   // this function will automatically be executed by Laravel when a new `Status` is being created.
    static::creating(function(YourStatusModel $status) {
        $status->causer_id = optional(auth()->user())->id;
    });
}

2. Set that class in the status_model key of the model-status config file.

3. Create a migration that adds caused_id to the statuses table.

4. Profit!
