Time stamping/date stamping checkboxes

Featured Replies

I've searched the help section of FMP 7 and this fantastic board to see if there is a way to add a time stamp to a checkbox. I would like it to follow the checkboxes caption, and be automaticly added at the time that the box is selected. Looking something like this

I guess that is a date stamp.

Can this happen, and if so how would I do such a thing.

What about if I wanted to have an edit box inbetween. Sometimes the option is an elective, and it would be nice to have the selection written in. How do I do that? Just put an edit box next to the checkbox?

Man am I a newbie...

My guess is that you need a field to hold the date or timestamp. You could place this field next to the caption, maybe a merge field. Make the checkbox a button that runs a script that sets the value of the checkbox field and sets the other field to the current date or timestamp.

I think you would treat the edit box the same way. If you make it a merge you will not be able to edit it but you could use a custom dialog box in your script to get the data.
