Danielstout From what I understand, you want to update 'Updated' choice column whenever 'last completed' column changes value. You can easily do this if you write an automation Flow to trigger when an items changes in your list.
Here is how I would do it - create another column and call it something like 'last updated hidden'. On every item update write the value of 'last updated' column to 'last updated hidden' column.

I want to have date changes in the “last update completed” column trigger the “updated” column to say no. Then be able to switch the choice in the “updated” column to yes after documents have been uploaded.
