Can I user and time stamp a Choice dropdown added to a detail screen?

Can I user and time stamp a Choice dropdown added to a detail screen? If so, how?, as I do not see any action options?

If it were me I would create a dropdown using the Custom AI component, and set it up to call a Set Column action every time the choice is changed.

Thanks Jeff… I’ve never done this before… I am searching for instruction on how to do this on Chat GPT… unless you know of another resource which explains how to do this?

Just start playing with the Custom AI component and giving it instructions. It’s mostly trial and error to understand how it works, but just talk to it naturally and ask for changes as you need them.

For starters, you will need your list of choices as a comma delimited list or JSON because you can only pass values from a single row into a custom AI component. It is not able to read multiple rows from a table or relation like a native choice component can. Are your choices static, or can they change? Do you write the same value that is displayed as the choice, or do you write a different underlying value for each choice?

Once you have the above figured out, then it’s just a matter of promting the component. Tell it something like this.

“Create a dropdown component with two parameters. The first parameter will be a comma delimited list of choices. The second parameter will be the value of the selected choice. When a choice changes, execute an action.”

Something like that should get you started. Sometimes you may need to add or remove data parameters which can be more frustrating than anything, but once you have that established, just continue to chat with it for additional changes. If it does something wrong, tell it. If your last prompt breaks something, you can delete it and try again. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Just need to play with it.
