capture date when user is assigned

I have a user field and date user assigned field.  I would like to have the date assigned automatically populate when a user is selected.  How can I do that with having to save the form first? ----...

    np, Create a Dynamic Form rule

    When multiple conditions are true

    and ALL of

    [date] is (leave blank)
    user assigned is not (leave blank)

    Action:
    Change the value of the field [Date] to  the current date.


    .. and uncheck the checkbox at the bottm so the rule fires all the time.


    It's possible that the system will not allow to to check if a user field type is blank.  If that is the case, you would need to create a formula user field called [null user] with no formula and have the form rules check of the user assigned is equal to the value in the field null user.
