Forms - auto timestamp responses

I wonder if there is a facility to automatically date and timestamp response on forms and whether this information could be exported to Excel?

    Ashburton2020 the time when a user starts and ends a form is already captured in the spreadsheet which you access from the form responses tab.

Ashburton2020 in MS Forms would you know how to enable a start time/end time radio button? Purpose would be for my team to click/select the start time/end time for several runs (automated and captured in real time) related to a section within a Form File; versus them having to enter their own start and end time.

    ZTremellen there is no way to do that in MS Forms, but it is possible if you build a form in Power Apps.

      I would love to know more about Power Apps. I need a basic and simple form for my foundry operators to fill out. The first question is a manual text input, the second a drop down, and then question 3-18 is for when material was added or removed so all i need is a button for a time stamp to each question (#3-18). I like the form web based MS offers with the excel table in the backend. I can't get this done and I have no clue on power apps. Any advice?
