Hi @architkhanna,

you have tywo ways to do this:

  • using Lookup editor app, you can modify a lookup but you haven't automatic date field and you have to add it manually;
  • using a JavaScript, but it isn't so easy to describe!

In few words, you have to:

  • create a KV Store containing the fields you need (e.g. date and comment),
  • create a dashboard to show the values of the lookup, containing a button;
  • create a javaScript that, whwn clicked, runs a search that updates the KVStore.

We did it in my company and you can find in Community some help to create this javascript:
