External Data source and System fields

English Forum

Hi,

I’m using NocoBase with an external data source (MariaDB), and I’d like to know if adding system fields such as createdAt, createdBy, updatedAt, and updatedBy to the external database tables will allow NocoBase to update them automatically — similar to how it handles internal tables.

Kind regards,
Nat

Currently, system fields like createdAt, createdBy, updatedAt, and updatedBy don’t get updated automatically for external databases unless you set up database defaults, triggers, or add custom logic.
