# Date Submitted Field

 * Hello,
 * I have integrated google sheets with my forminator forms, however the date submitted
   field is not appearing as a field in google sheets. I’ve had to manually add 
   datepickers with the default date to all my fields, but I can’t seem to add a
   timestamp field to provide the default time as well?
 * In addition, I was trying to enable caching of very long forms which save the
   users data and allow them to come back to the form at a later time. I came across
   the following post in the support forums which suggested using the following 
   code snippet: [https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/9917696b87543e3edb92e84f41933be0](https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/9917696b87543e3edb92e84f41933be0)
 * Am I correct to add this in mu-plugins folder and this should enable caching 
   of selected answers in forms? It is not currently doing so

 * Hello [@elieelia9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elieelia9/)
 * I trust you’re doing well!
 * I’ve tested the Forminator form on my end and the date field along with Time 
   Picker was exported to Google Drive Sheets from my end.
 * Would you please export your form, from Forminatir > Forms > click on settings
   icon > Export and share it with us so we could investigate it further?
 * Please see this screenshot:

 * Upload the export file to Google Drive or to a DropBox, or you can use a Pastebin.
   com and share a download link with us
 * As for the custom snippet, I could replicate the same issue and have asked our
   developers to have a closer look. We will follow back once there will be an update.
 * Kind regards,

 * Hi [@wpmudev-support9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support9/),
   thank you for your reply.
 * I am not currently using a timepicker field as it has no option to grab the time
   of form submission automatically and requires the user to input that info. I 
   rather want the information of date and time of when the form was submitted to
   appear in a column in my google sheets integration.
 * My current form submissions have a ‘Date Submitted’ field by default from forminator
   for every submission, but this field is not appearing in my google sheets integration
   and only appears in the submissions dashboard or csv export.
 * I have worked around this issue by adding a datepicker field that by default 
   is today’s current date, but there is no option to add the timepicker field that
   by default is today’s current time.

 * Hello [@elieelia9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elieelia9/)
 * I trust you’re doing well!
 * In the following custom snippet, please locate on a line 26 the following:
 * `$allowed_form_ids = array( 6, 12, 345, 6434 );`
 * Replace this line with this code:
    `$allowed_form_ids = array();`
 * This will save user’s data in a browser and the user can come back after some
   time again and continue from where the form was left.

 * Please elaborate, what files you have added to the Google Sheet? Have you applied
   a certain formula?
 * Please feel free to try out the following solution:
