Date Formula Help!

STATUS  (multi select)	RETOUCHING STARTS (date)	RETOUCHING FINISHES (date)
IN RETOUCHING
DONE

What formula or automation can I use so that when I change "STATUS" to "IN RETOUCHING" a date is populated in "RETOUCHING STARTS" and when i change the "STATUS" to "DONE" a date is populated in "RETOUCHING FINISHES?"

I can not use the last modified because I want the date to remain the same when I change the "STATUS" to "DONE."

Try:
1. Create a formula field with `NOW()`
2. Create an automation that'll trigger when the Status is updated
3. In that automation, give it two conditionals, one that matches when "Status" = "IN RETOUCHING", and another when "Status" = "DONE"
4. Set up "Update record" actions in those two conditions to paste value from the formula field from step 1 into either "RETOUCHING STARTS" or "RETOUCHING ENDS"
