timestamp

Return to fields.ini file

A very simple sample of this could be your table contains the table date_created as a type of date. In your fields.ini, you would include this:

[date_created]
timestamp=insert
widget:type=hidden

The widget:type=hidden will make the field not visible during entry and editing. And the timestamp=insert causes the field to be filled upon insertion of a new record.

Possible Values

• update - Causes timestamp to be updated whenever the record is modified.
• insert - Causes the timestamp to be updated only when the record is first inserted.
