Freeze date
Is there a way to freeze a date =today() if a date field is controlled by a check box field once 24 hours passes? If check box checked = today.
Excel suggests using vba. I am not certain if there is a way in SS to do this type of function without the date changing.
Thoughts...suggestions?

Check out this thread:
https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/formula-selecting-checkbox-will-populate-completion-date
and let us know if that is what you are looking for.
I think it might be close, but there is a nuance to your wording that may require more clarification.

Good morning.
Just to let Craig and others know who are trying to accomplish the same thing.....Criag's idea does indeed work well for freezing a date.
Thanks,
Dean

Update:
I do this now using Zapier (www.zapier.com)
I have a Zap that watches for an empty date column and a completion check box - when the check box is checked by the user, today's date is entered into the date column.
Later, if someone makes another change elsewhere in the row, which triggers the Zap, it does not do anything because the date column is not empty.

Instead of applying the formula to \"Multiselect Text String\" row, did you tried with \"Multiselect Values\" row?<\/p>
=IF(HAS([Multiselect Values]@row, [Component ID]@row), \"MATCH\", \"NO MATCH\")<\/p>

Hi, <\/p>
Add a \"Created By\" column in your sheet and turn on \"Required smartsheet login to access your form\" in your form setting. So that whoever fills out the form, their email id will be automatically captured in \"created by\" column. This will replace your \"Requestor Name\" column. <\/p>
Thank you!<\/p>
