Setting Actual Start and End Date

I know there are a lot of posts about the Actual Start and End Date on a project task but I'm not sure how to get things working the way I need.

 

What I would like is when a project task is moved to Work in Progress the actual start date is set to the current date and time.  Correspondingly when the project task is closed the actual end date is set to the current date and time.

 

I see the ubiquitous scenario of the actual start and end dates being set to the planned start and end dates.

 

Derive time component from planned dates is unchecked.

 

How can I get the behaviour that I am looking for?
