Auto add time stamp when selecting value from value list or field values?

[Joe_Schmo]

I have a layout that (in Browse Mode) has dropdown lists that display data from another table. I would like the new record created when filling out the layout to log the date/time the value was selected and display that on the layout, adjacent to the selection that was made.

This is a form that, on paper would have several people sign and date it. The dropdown would be from a table of personnel. I would like there to be a field on the layout next to each persons name that autofills with the timestamp when they select their name. There will be several occurrences of this, and will not be at the same time, so an overall time stamp for the layout/record won't work. It needs to be the time that a particular field in the record was changed.

I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm new to FMP and this is my first post here on the forums. Sorry if my terminology is off with my description of the issue. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

Thanks! Going to check it out now.

FYI- I just updated my 'About Me' section with a description of the database I'm working on. It's my first and only FMP project so all my questions will be in reference to it.
