Is "created"/"modified" a built-in thing for Cake?
Anyway, what I'm using the field for is not important. This could be
a birthday field or something and the issue would persist.
My db schema for this field is:
creationDate DATETIME NOT NULL
The Cake-baked default scaffold should have a modifiable Datetime in
my form, and it's not allowed to be empty. In fact, the form doesn't
allow me to set the form to be empty if I tried.
But the Cake-baked default Controller keeps failing validation because
it says the field is empty. Which is impossible.
If anyone needs more info from me to diagnose this problem, please let
me know.
