DateTimeField

-----------------------------------------+------------------------
The default output format for DateTimeField (e.g. `created`) fields in
Django admin is something like `Jan. 4, 2023, 4:22 p.m.`. When I am
debugging some issue and trying to find matching record in logs I am
lacking information about second (or even milliseconds).
The only solutions I found is either to change `DATETIME_FORMAT`
systemwise:
{{{
from django.conf.locale.en import formats as en_formats
en_formats.DATETIME_FORMAT = "d M. Y H:i:s"
}}}
or to change the output for individual fields.
But I would like to see seconds for all DateTime fields in whole admin
interface and not to change the format in frontend nor API (which the
first solution causes).
Most importantly I feel, that all Django users would benefit from ability
to access whole information about DateTime which is stored in the
database. So my suggestion is to start outputting DateTime fields in admin
interface with tooltip containing whole precise time such as:
{{{
<div class="readonly" title="Jan. 4, 2023, 4:22:30.123 p.m.">Jan. 4, 2023,
4:22 p.m.</div>
}}}
