Timestamp a date and time, and also the username based on a yes/no toggle

Hello,

I have a yes/no (DataCardValue1) toggle that when pressed I would like for 1 text box (textinput1) to show the date and time "dd mmm yy hh:mm" (Time in a 24 hour format) and another box (textinput2) to show the user name of the person who pressed the button.

Is there any way to do this? I had a solution earlier that almost worked but every time I went to edit the entry it re-updated the time which didn't really work for me (I'd only want an update after the toggle was pressed).

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Aaron

In the OnCheck of the Toggle create a variable;
UpdateContext ({varTime, Text( Now(), DateTimeFormat.LongDateTime )})

Then in the text box: varTime

in the other textbox: User().FullName------------

Hi,

Sorry that didn't seem to work - I'm getting an error with the time code . Also, I only want the name of the user who clicked the toggle to be shown in the other box but it seems that whenever someone accesses it, it'll change based on who last saved it. I've attached some screenshots to demonstrate.

Is there any workaround you can think of?

Thanks so much for the help - really appreciate it.

Aaron
