Description
Consider the following model:
class Ticket(Model):
name=SlugField()
class Comment(Models):
name=SlugField()
ticket = models.ForeignKey(Ticket, edit_inline=TABULAR, num_in_admin=1)
timestamp = DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
When I edit a Ticket that has one or more comments already, when I hit save I get the error: myproj_comment.timestamp may not be NULL
It appears that the inline editing in the admin doesn't honor the "auto_now_add=True" option. I can edit or create a comment directly without problem.
The workaround I've done is to simply override the save() method and set timestamp to now() if it doesn't exist.

For the archives - this is the right result, for the wrong reason.
I don't know who anonymous is, but auto_now_add hasn't been deprecated yet. There has been talk about deprecating, and there is a better way (default=datetime.now), but for the moment, auto_now_add is still a valid option.
However, the ticket is still wontfix. The error lies in the edit_inline functionality of trunk admin. edit_inline is known to have many problems in trunk admin, and we aren't fixing them - we're replacing trunk admin with newforms admin.
auto_now_add is outdated.
