I created a form to make it easier for my colleagues to share their new hiring needs, and I need to record when a form is submitted. I tried multiple ways: 1. Adding a date and time field to the form 2. Adding a date created column to the table And much more, none of which are working. Any suggestions? ---

hi @Khalid_W_Abou_Kassem , did you try to use `Modified(thisRow)` ? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/3/2/320532833e85fb44459673403b5c9d69f63aad4a.png) Cheers, Christiaan ---

Yes, it would only show the date I manually create or modify a row in the table. Any other suggestions mate? Thanks. ---

I am afraid I miss out on something obvious : when a table (form) is filled out, the user create a new row and thus the outcome of `Modified(thisRow)` changes as well. Then you have the creation data. What is it I do not see? ---

Hey Christiaan. I loomed a video for your reference just to simplify what I mean. ---

thx for the video @Khalid_W_Abou_Kassem , it helps 😉 **in short for those interested.** the `Modified(thisRow)` works well when you are in Coda and you modify or create a row. However when you have a form embedded and the data comes in, the `Modified(thisRow)` remains blank, does not work. That surprises me. @Federico.Stefanato , do you have a work around for this? ---

Hi @Khalid_W_Abou_Kassem (and welcome to the Community!), and @Christiaan_Huizer, In your Timestamp column you might try to use the **Value for new rows** option to `Now()` (and obviously hide it in the form view). This should value the column as it is computed _once_ the row is actually created. ![Untitled 2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/1/1/116919acfa7094209383f9194d998cd7e3c183b8.jpeg) Let me know if this helps. Cheers! ---
