Can I create a continuous date column?

Is there a way to make the a date column go all the way down so that it can act as a continuous daily log without having to enter the date every day?

You can set up a separate sheet that has a date type column in it. You would first set up a record a date automation to put the date in that column at 12:00am. Then you would use a copy row automation set to run daily at 1:00am to copy that row over to the sheet you want the running list of dates in.

@Paul Newcome , thank you for the information. How could I do this if I wanted to set it up so that there is a due date column that is custom. For instance, if I need something logged every 6 months, or every week and I would like the due date to be this reminder how would I do that without having to manually enter the due date?

Are you able to provide some screenshots for context?

For instance, I would like for the date logged to have a date (in this example) that is every 6 months without me having to manually enter that date. @Paul Newcome

How are you indicating that it is supposed to be every 6 months vs every week?

@Paul Newcome , it will be different for different sheets. Some sheets I want that date to be every week, other sheets I want the date to be every 6 months, other sheets I want it to be every year, so on.
