Getting the current date and time when changing status

[Jhon Collin P. Asagra]

I would like to get the current date and time when changing status, like when the Agents assigned the ticket, assigned date and time is also captured.

I think I can achieve this through post function scripting of field, however I am not familiar with it. I am hoping someone can help me. 

Thank you in advance!

What plugin do you have for scripting? If you can write a groovy script in your plugin, you can just write 

def date = new Date()

Thank you for your help. I am using ScriptRunner. How can I set the custom field value to the captured current date and time? :)
