In django do models have a default timestamp field?

Question

In django - is there a default timestamp field for all objects? That is, do I have to explicitly declare a \'timestamp\' field for \'created on\' in my Model - or is there a way

Answer 1

If you want to be able to modify this field, set the following instead of auto_now_add=True:

For Date

from datetime import date

models.DateField(default=date.today)

For DateTime

from django.utils import timezone

models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
