I know I’ve done this before, but how? It will be easy, but I don’t have a clue anymore. This is what I want to do: When something changes in a row, I want 2 columns filled: one with the time of change, one with the name of the changer. How do I do this again? ---

How is the change being made, via an Edit Form? ~~If yes, you can just use a screen column to set the when, and a user profile column to set the who.~~ Actually, scratch that (sorry). You just need an On Submit action that does a Set Column values. - the who gets set with a value from the user profile - the when gets set with the current time ---

yeah, that was my initial thought, and then it didn’t seem right and I didn’t have time to test it. Problem is I’m almost _always_ using custom forms, so I rarely get to use these options. I need to find a way to wean myself off custom forms, haha 🤪 ---
