How to capture the date that a checkbox is checked & record it in another column automatically
Is there a way to capture the date that a checkbox is checked & record it in another column automatically? The timestamp lives in the cell history for the checkbox, but not sure how to pull that out into another column so we can then use that info for formulas, etc. Let me know if you have any ideas.

You would need to use a third party app such as Zapier or the API.
The only other option for this would be to use a Copy Row automation to pull the row data to another sheet and lock in that time/date stamp then use a formula with a cross sheet reference to pull that "frozen" time/date stamp back onto your main sheet.

Another way to do it is to create an automation workflow to Record a Date based on when the Checkbox is checked/unchecked.

@Hakim Azly Yes. Now that we have this automation we can use that. Prior to the automation though we would have to use the copy row automation and then some cross sheet references.
