hi, i try to do the same but does't work, can you share you working code?

Regards!

PHP Code:

The $useTimestamps automatically fills the $date array with the $createdField , $updatedField and the $deletedFields. 


So set this to true.

PHP Code:

/**
 * If true, will set created_at, and updated_at
 * values during insert and update routines.
 *
 * @var boolean
 */
 protected $useTimestamps = false; 


Not work, i use custom model extended from MyTh.

I have tried everything, $useTimestamps to "true", $useTimestamps to "false", with $dates array, etc...

PHP Code:

namespace App\Models;

use Myth\Auth\Models\UserModel as BaseModel;

class UserModel extends BaseModel
{  

    protected $dates = [];

    protected $returnType = \App\Entities\User::class;

    protected $useTimestamps = true;
} 


It is not in the model that you declare $date array empty, it is in the Entity class

It works for display but i didn't get further yet, I hope that the empty $date array will not prevent from CI to automatically update the value at creation, update and delete action as it is supposed to do ... I'll check it when I write my create,edit,delete function in my controller...

I think our problem is more from the __get() function of the system Entity class ... but noone reply on this point.

Sorry for the delay, I'm busy on many projects and I'm just working on CI4 when I have time to learn how to deal with it for the futur.
