Hi Guys,

I have a drop down which has Option 1, Option 2, Option 3

I need to record whenever the Options are changed from Option 1 **To** Option 2

I can do it using user driven actions where I edit → change status from dropdown and click on Save

How can I do it? I have used conditions in my save functionality which states

If its Option1, Or Options 2 or Options 3 record time.

**Issue**

Every time I save without any change in status it records the timestamp.

Is there a better way to approach this problem?

Regards,  
Dilip

Assuming you’re talking about an edit form here, you would have to set up a user-specific column called “Option Temporary”.

When you open the edit screen, add a step to set the real option column’s value to that temporary column.

In the edit screen, show the choice component tied to the temporary column.

In your on-submit action for the edit screen, if option temporary is different to the real option, set a timestamp AND set the temporary value back to the real option column, else don’t do anything.
