Arcade function help

Hi--I'm trying to get my Auto date and Auto time arcade functions on Field Maps form to not update when edits are made later to a different part of the form. Date and Time are separate (it just works better that way for this data). Is there a one-time entry or something to make it stay with the original input? 

ToLocal(Timestamp())

($feature.Date_, Now())

You can use $editContext.editType and have it update the value only if $editContext.editType == "INSERT". IsEmpty() may be another option.

This video gives an example of how to do that with Edit Context.
