@reluctantprogrammer yes via script you can. On the exit of the other field just fire the js to set the value of date time field to set to current date/time

 

today = Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY") //returns date in MM/DD/YYYY format

other_field.rawValue = today // populate my_date_field with todays date

        basically creation of a "date/time stamp" to show when the user actually entered remarks in a field.

          Then the code mentioned above will do the trick.

          In case you don't want to overwrite the date once it has been set, wrap it into an if statement. Keep in mind the code is in FormCalc not JavaScript!

          if (other_field.isNull) then
    other_field = Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")
endif
