Need help with building time stamps

    Hi I am trying to build in time stamps in various sections of my form. For some reason the time is always the original time the form was opened. The use case for this would be for a courier to be able to tap the time they go enroute, tap the time they arrive, etc...

    Hi RESQRS,

    Thanks for your patience. I looked at your form and I see your are using the Date Picker element and enabled the Time component. When you set the default time to current, it populate with the current date and time. I recommend that your turn off the time component on the date picker and use the sole Time Element instead similar to this:

    You can shrink the Date Picket and Time Element so they'll be on the same row on the form. Let me show you how:

    1. Click on the gear icon on the Date Picker field.
    2. Under Advanced, Turn On Shrink.
