Timestamp from a form

Hi,

In Google, when a form is created, its associated sheet gets a column named "Timestamp." Whenever someone submits a form, the date and time is automatically generated into that column. Does anyone know if there is a way to have this feature in Smartsheet? I am using a form for enhancement requests for an internally developed software application. I would like the requests to be automatically time and date stamped so that the user does not have to enter the date of their request on the form.

Tom

Add a Autonumber/System Field and select Create date. This places the date and time it is saved in the system.

You will need a nested IF formula:<\/p>

=IF(Status@row=\"Not Started\", \"Gray\", IF(Status@row=\"In Progress\", \"Yellow\", IF(Status@row=\"Complete\", \"Green\")))<\/p>

<\/p>

Just add more IF Statements like above for what you need. Put all ) at the very end. Then you can turn it into a column formula by right clicking the cell the formula is in and selecting column formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"},{"tagID":440,"urlcode":"project-management","name":"Project Management"}]},{"discussionID":106265,"type":"question","name":"If Date is blank + past formula","excerpt":"I can't figure out why this would return a \"yes\" when the date cell is blank. =IF([Date of Site Survey (Product)]@row = \" \", \" \", IF(TODAY() > [Date of Site Survey (Product)]@row, \"yes\", \" \")) Intended logic\/result - If date cell is blank, then \"blank\" (this worked when I tried without the 2nd argument added) If date is in…","categoryID":322,"dateInserted":"2023-06-09T14:00:25+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-06-09T23:14:36+00:00","insertUserID":162220,"insertUser":{"userID":162220,"name":"dhawkins","title":"Product Manager","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/dhawkins","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-06-09T20:05:00+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":45516,"lastUser":{"userID":45516,"name":"Paul Newcome","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Paul%20Newcome","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/082\/nQPUTVFKKWDJ2.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-06-11T12:14:23+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":3,"countViews":34,"score":null,"hot":3372673501,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/106265\/if-date-is-blank-past-formula","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/106265\/if-date-is-blank-past-formula","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":106265,"commentID":379953,"name":"Re: If Date is blank + past formula","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/379953#Comment_379953","dateInserted":"2023-06-09T23:14:36+00:00","insertUserID":45516,"insertUser":{"userID":45516,"name":"Paul Newcome","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Paul%20Newcome","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/082\/nQPUTVFKKWDJ2.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-06-11T12:14:23+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-06-09T14:28:35+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-06-09T14:12:11+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":379830,"body":"
