Why not use the fields created_at and updated_at and let Rails do this
for
you?

Hi Igor

Philip is right.Just add
created_at or created_on
updated_at or updated_on

in your table.

That’s it :slight_smile:

But I don’t need a two columns for this. I want to have one field that
contain datetime when it last time modified of created.

Thanks for reply

Hi Igor

Being opinionated,Rails had already decided on auto-updating on create
and on update separately :slight_smile:
