Timestamp when a field changes status to completed

Hi there,

In my table i have several functions that change the status field to “complete”. Whenever that happens I would like to timestamp the date in the ‘task completed date’ field.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how I might address this?

Thanks,

Andy

You can do this in two ways; a static time stamp, or a formulaic time stamp.

If you want the time stamp to be static, ie you can edit it at a later time, you would want to set up an automation. This will automatically run any time the status is changed, but only gets through the filter if the status = completed

The other way is with a formulaic column which you cannot edit in the cell later.

When you say you have multiple functions that change the status field, what are we talking about? Buttons? Automations? Is the status field itself a formula?

Formula fields cannot trigger automations unfortunately.

Hi @Andy_Farquharson,

you can also try adding that action to the buttons you have with the RunActions()-formula.

Sincerely
Jannis
