Date filled in from selecting a checkbox

Community,

I want a date to be filled in when I select a checkbox. I came up with the following formula but supplies the current date. I want the date cell to show the date that the checkbox was checked.

So for example, if I selected the checkbox on 09/01/19 the date column would display 09/01/19 even though the day I'm viewing/editing the sheet is 09/26/19

=IF([Application has been filed]@row, TODAY(0), 1)

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, the third-party service, Zapier is an excellent option for this scenario. You could also use the Smartsheet API. Is any of those an option for you?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,
