Populate Start/End Date based on Status change

bbuck

I use the Card View for quickly creating tasks and tracking their status/state. I'm trying to see if it's possible to take this further and populate the Start Date and End Date fields when the task first enters a specific state. See screenshot attached.

No, timestamping is not a function of Smartsheets at this point. It would be great to have this functionality so I suggest submitting a Product Enhancement Request.
