Ok I've added those entries and now it looks like this
Field('last_modified', 'datetime', default=request.now,
update=request.now, writable=False, readable=False)
and gives this when I try to submit without putting a date in it in
the admin screen
flash -> enter date and time as 1963-08-28 14:30:59
It isn't auto filling the field with the datetime and it still appears
as a blank entry on the admin screen until I click it and press enter.
