Locking in Submission Date

SolomonScichowski

I have logic built out where an employee will submit a request to be approved by management. This is not very dynamic, the employee simply enters text in line items and then those line items will adjust to "read only" once manager has selected approve/reject on their end. Is there a way I can add a submitted date line item to display the date when the employee has entered text? I realize the employee can simply select a date, however I want to make sure entries are accurate and employees do no select a date that is not the current date. So I want the date submitted logged behind the scenes.
