How to record time in each section of questionnaire

Hi, I am wonder if it is possible to record time in each section of questionnaire without letting the enumerator able to change it. I have been trying use the code of “format-date-time(now(), ‘%H:%M:%S’)” and “now()”, but it cannot capture different time in each start and end section. I hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Phearun

Hi @Kal_Lam I’m trying this approach but the time being recorded is just the start time of the survey- it’s recording that time for all the following now() times. Ideally I don’t even really want the enumerator to see this question on the survey but I just want a timestamp collected so I can see how long each group of questions takes.

Welcome to the community, @darcygray1af! Maybe use the calculate question type then. So with the calculate question type, your question does not get displayed to the enumerators.
