Workflow that automatically logs date and time when a ticket field is changed

[NintexNewb]

I'm building a tracking system within a SharePoint list and using Nintex forms and on the form there is a field for status for the list item (ticket) Open, Assigned, Active, Closed I'm trying to figure out how to build a workflow that will auto log the date and time into a column when the list item (ticket) is created and then moved into a new status.  Like this screen shot I took from another system I found. Any insight is appreciated 🙂

• create an external audit log list with all neccessary information that are needed to be logged as columns with a uniqe ID to be included to be refrenced in the last step
• in the workflow create variables that will correspond to above columns
• add a create item action that will log each variable above into the list item created
• add "commit pending changes" action in the workflow
• if you want to show the log on the form add list view control that is connected to the audit log list and filter with the unique ID created earlier
• all you have to do now is set workflow to start when items are modified

this is just how i would go about doing this, i havent done this and just wanted to give you an idea on how to approach this

let me know if you need help or if you are stuck
