si,

I am not so sure what you are asking here,

after the other, otherwise it typically contains only one value, that gets 
replaced after update. Yes you can do this and you will need to treat these 
fields as lists, the time stamp should perhaps be made into a title [[date 
time]] and you are likely to use the Listops Operators 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Filter%20Operators> and Order Operators.

This is where the log tool instead would place this change in a 
Datatiddler.. Look for the data tiddler in the log tool to see what I have 
done. My log tool could be reworked to meet your needs but if your new to 
tiddlywiki it may not be so simple. The advantage of the log tool is 
actions on multiple tiddlers are logged in a timeline and can be all seen 
at once. You could create your own Log buttons for "start", "finish" and 
"format" that places the time date stamp in the log.

This depends on your ultimate goal, will your data be in a form you can 
make use of as you wish.
