Automation Help: Regarding Proofs
I want to record a date, when certain people approve a proof.
When I set up a proof I am inviting several people, however, I need to record a date when a specific person (technically it could be 1 of 3 people) actually approves the proof.
I have the {Proof Approved By} column (and as everyone approves their names appear in this column. When 1 of the 3 people approves the proof and their name gets added to the {Proof Approved By} column I want it to record a date in another column (currently set up as: {testing automation: Dont delete})

You would set up a Record A Date automation and use multiple triggers. Would you want it to record a new date if another one of the three approves, or just lock in that first date?

Yeah, I've tried a couple variations, but I'm newish to automations and none of them have worked so far. No, I don't need to record a new date if another one approves, just the first one.

Of course you will need to select the appropriate fields and options, but the basic idea is that you will have multiple triggers and a condition of the date field being blank. Field names / options aside, it should look like this:
