Update completed date on different sheet after form submission

Hello All,

I have a form collecting construction progress updates. When a from is submitted, I would like the "Construction Report" on a separate sheet to have a completed date (equal to submission date on the form) entered automatically. We can assume that the forms will be submitted and kept in sequential order.

I have played around with automations, cell linking, and index formulas, but can't figure this one out. Would love to know if anyone has any solutions to make this possible.

Thanks!

    @Felipa I've done this type of things many times. The easiest way in my opinion is to
    1.) Either use the created column or a date column that is populated by an automation on the submitted date.
    2.) Have a helper column (hidden) flag the row that has the latest or most chronological submission.
    3.) On the second sheet do a index(match()) to pull in the row with the flag and display that date.
