Automated date column base on text of other column
I would like to date a column when another column is populate with a text value. So when I assign and individual to [Person Assigned] I would like to add "todays date" to [Date Assigned]
qphawk There might be multiple ways to achieve this. Try below suggestions:
Using Power automate flow:
- Create a simple power automate flow which will run on item creation/update (trigger can be as per your requirements).
- Add "Update item" action in flow to update the Date Assigned column using expression: formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd')
Using Power apps:
- Customize list form using power apps.
- In OnChange event of Person Assigned field, update the value of Date Assigned column using variables
