Workflow, set date/time field to NOW timestamp

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it seems that you are trying to set a timestamp in a custom field when a button is clicked in a workflow. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Create a custom field of type Date/Time on the record where you want to store the timestamp. Make sure this field is not set to 'Store Value' as it needs to be dynamically updated. 2. In your workflow, add a 'Set Field Value' action. In this action, set the field to your custom field and the value to
{now}
. This will set the current timestamp in the custom field. Please note that
{now}
will give you the current date and time, while
{today}
will only give you the current date. Remember, the field will not hold the value if it is not set to 'Store Value'. It will only show the current date and time whenever the record is accessed. If you want to store the timestamp permanently, you need to set the field to 'Store Value'. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
