Hi,  
I have a case where user will toggle the switch. Is there a way to capture the date when the toggle happens?

Thanks

No, there’s no action tied to the switch. You’re setting a boolean column so might as well use a button to set that column to true/false and capture the timestamp as well.

Button adds a new row and this complicates my flow. for now i just ask user to add in the date manually.

Button doesn’t add a new row, only when you use it as a form or with an add row action. You can add a button and use a flow that includes a set column action with settings as above.

Change Switch to the button with action “Set Columns” that sets needed cell with current date/time.
