Is there a way to update a post (published) date when you change the category/taxonomy to a specific one?

Example: - Post type "Projects" - 2 categories: Progress/ Done When you change the category for the post "Project One" (from Progress) to Done, the published date has to be the currect date and time, zo it will be the last published post.

You can display the date the post was last modified, using the Default date format setting (e.g. F j, Y) from Administration > Settings > General. Here is a code using Default date formate.

<p><?php printf( __( 'Last modified: %s', 'textdomain' ), get_the_modified_date() ); ?></p>
