      It would be super helpful for my use case if the date/timestamp of when a user signed up for a task was saved and could be exported along with the rest of the sheet data. If this is currently available I cannot find it anywhere. I feel like this used to be a thing years ago, but it’s possible our web dude at the time just added it custom himself back then and we lost it in a site move. We found value in seeing that data and learning what days/times our folks went and signed up, and if it correlated to a public call out for volunteer needs.

      thanks!

      That has never been part of my plugin, so your web guy must have made some custom code to do that.
      There is no field in the database table for signups to store a timestamp for when the user signs up, so whoever coded that for you either stored that data in a separate table, or modified the existing signup table, along with adding functions to save/view that data and to retrieve it during export.

        Fair enough. Our web guy is no longer around and we’ve moved sites and all that since then so we’ve lost that extra code. I feel like this would be a useful addition to the core product though and possibly one that isn’t super difficult to add. Would love to see it added as a feature as the data reporting it enables is very useful, at least for folks like me who want to understand how effective our volunteer recruiting is.

      It’s been a while, but I’m working on a big update to the main/free plugin and added a timestamp column to the signups database, which will be shown in a “Signup Time” column on the admin side views. The values will be shown as the date followed by the time, with date and time in the format that you set in your WordPress general settings page.

      This will be in version 4.6, which I will hopefully release sometime in the next week.
