It does not work.
I run your script
create domain username as text default user;
through PGADMIN and I get the following
CREATE DOMAIN username
  AS text
  DEFAULT "current_user"();
ALTER DOMAIN username OWNER TO ekekakos;

I create a field in a table and I am getting the following script:
ALTER TABLE "Library"."Contacts" ADD COLUMN "LastUser" username;
ALTER TABLE "Library"."Contacts" ALTER COLUMN "LastUser" SET STORAGE
EXTENDED;

And it does not work during the update.

Thanks
Elias

you can use "select current_user" to get the current user and use in the update trigger
