Google Sheets: How to keep time stamp unchanged if any changes in the the other data cell?

For more details when inserting a row, the time stamp in "time out" col. must be static, for any changes in "status" col. , and also for "time in" col., if "name" col. changes
what is the script please

Hi and welcome to the forum.

A workbook would have helped with a before and after example of what you expect to see. Would you upload it please.
We really need to understand what it looks like and how you use it in order to suggest an optimum solution

For instance is your data in a table?
Are you inserting a row at the row below an existing range of data or between existing rows?
Does the time stamp need to be added to the new row BEFORE you add any other information or after?

Welcome to the forum.

There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

How are you currently adding the time stamp?

Here's a sample script for adding a timestamp in Google Sheets.

sorry my english is weak, cause "post word" give me many meaning, i read the rules and search in google, and what i understand that if i give 10 support or answer that gives me ability to put a link to my (free) question for is that correct.

Thanks brother norie for replyig - According to your comment , (D&H columns) were renamed to (CASE 2 & 7) -and spread name is Sheet1 as mentioned-and the script did not work please any idea for that

What I posted was an untested example of the code you could use to add time stamps in column C and H.

This code has been tested and seems to work.

There are instructions at the top of this page telling you how anybody can attach a workbook.

Will you please attach a small sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

Instructions (Please Read Carefully):

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired results are also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment (it hasn't worked for years, and despite our repeatedly asking the technical team who own the forum to fix it, they can't be bothered to do so), so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

The code I posted won't put anything in column C.

Sorry for the inconvenience,I tried all my attempts, I open'd also a new Google account to prevent any script interference, but I failed, Please advise me cause the time steel appear in column c, and this is an image
