Update Text field with current time

[RCSmart01]

i am trying to update a text field with the current time and date when a checkbox is checked.  I have tried to use onselect of button to do that but the formula i am using is not working properly. Then i want to update the record in my SQL database that the information is coming from. How would i make this possible?

Hi @RCSmart01,

Could you please share more details about how you would like to update the record in your SQL Database?

I will share an example here, about how to show the current time in a Label control when CheckBox checked.

1. Add a Label control, add a CheckBox control,

2. Under text property of the Label control, enter the following:

If(Checkbox1.Value=true,Now())

In this way, when the CheckBox is checked, the Label would show the current date and time.

If you would like to update the record in SQL Database with the current time, then you cuold take use of the patch function:

For example:

Patch(TableName, RecordNeedtoModify, {UpdatedRecordItem})

For the details usage of the patch() function, please check:

Patch function in PowerApps
