Add current date to new row
My input file is from Google sheets containing sales. But they don't have a datestamp.
I tried adding it with a constant in an ETL but the next day it overwrites all dates again with the current date. Is there a way to prevent this?
There should be an easy solution but I can't see it. Anyone who can help me?

add current_date() as a column in your google sheet, then set up your connector to do an APPEND instead of a REPLACE. (it's under the scheduling tab). ... or do a recursive dataflow if you must ?

Hi @user046467
You'll want to look into a recursive dataflow where you can add the current timestamp when the dataflow runs (on Google Sheet update) and then append it to your output dataset.

@jaeW_at_Onyx with the simpler option. I'd recommend his solution.

Thanks for your replies. I've to go for a recursive flow then.
As Google Sheets connector in Domo doesn't support append for whatever reason. Would've been much easier indeed.
