Can't display DateField on form with auto_now = True

Question

I have a model with auto_now, and auto_now_add set for Update and Create fields:

class HotelProfiles(models.Model):
  fe_result_id = models.AutoField(primary_key         


        

Answer 1

• Make the fields you want readonly
• explicitly override what fields are available in this admin form (readonly fields will be present but readonly)

Example:

from django.contrib import admin

class HotelProfilesAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin) :
    # Keep the fields readonly
    readonly_fields = ['fe_created_date','fe_updated_date']

    # The fields in the order you want them
    fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'fields': ('fe_created_date', 'fe_updated_date', ...other fields)
        }),
    )

# Add your new adminform to the site
admin.site.register(HotelProfiles, HotelProfilesAdmin)
