Time stamp for column edits?

Kaitey Elliott

Is there a way to collect a time stamp of the last time a cell has been updated? More specifically, when I send an update request to a user, and they respond I would like a time stamp to then set a reminder to follow up 30 days after they responded. Thx!

Hi @Kaitey Elliott

Would it work to base it on the Modified system column in combination with something the user updates?

Is there anything unique that they always update?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

That could, however with multiple stakeholders working in the row, it would not identify which column had last been updated. Thanks for the feedback! Do you know how I can submit a feature request?

Happy to help!

Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed that probably could be structured to work for your use-case.

What do you think? Could that work?

Happy anniversary to this post. This seems to be the most recent thread on wanting a time stamp on updates.

While @Andrée Starå provides a workaround, it is far more complicated than the Date Stamp automation.

Has Smartsheet made any progress on getting a time stamp function?
