When a row is created, how can I tell one of the columns to add today's date...
So I'm using Unito.io to pull data from DevOps, and I need to know when the row was created ( Not Updated ) in smartsheets.
So, I looked at using the "auto number," but there is no way to tell it to use the date.
Can someone help?

@MarkSchlaudraff One of the column types is "Created Date" - that should be exactly what you are you looking for.

I hope you're well and safe!
You could use a Workflow combined with the record a date Action.
Another option could be to add the system column, Created Date, and then get the date and time the row was added to the sheet.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

I think I found the solution, which is to make a automation that adds the date in a select column when a row is created.

Excellent!

I am trying to do the same thing in Smartsheet but I do not know the formula for this. Can someone help?

Hi @Bella_Love
No formula needed for either of these suggestions. I realized this is very similar to your other question which is slightly longer so have grouped my replies. Please see the comment on your other post: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/119831/please-share-the-formula-to-capture-creation-date-for-rows-in-smartsheet#latest
