Time Stamping

Good afternoon,

I have a form that gathers measurements of cuts made on an industrial lathe

5 number elements (Cut 1, Cut 2...) that will get data ranging from 0.02 up to and including 5.00

Under each one of those elements i have a hidden element (cuttime1, cuttime2...)

Id like the form to automatically timestamp the "cuttime1" field when the user adds a measurements to the corresponding "Cut 1" field. and then obviously the same process can the be repeated for all the other cuttime elements.

I'm presuming this can be done using conditional and dynamic elements but I'm struggling to find a way to do it.

Can anyone help?

  Hi Steve,

  Thank you for your inquiry. Just as a reminder, you can use our chat feature or email support if you have a question specifically related to your forms.

  Based on your example, you can use the following expression in a read-only or text element's Dynamic Value to populate a time-stamp after a number has been entered:

  if (parent_form.cut_1 > 0) {Date()}

  Please note that the condition inside the parenthesis is if the element is on the parent level. If it is nested in a subform, the path would follow a different expression. If you have a follow-up question regarding this, please submit a ticket and we can look through your form structure in further detail.

  Best,

  Stella
