[Answered ]-FieldError: Unknown field(s) (created_at, modified_at) specified for Account

You could just do,

created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

and

modified_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

From the docs,

DateField.auto_now¶

Automatically set the field to now every time the object is saved. Useful for “last-modified” timestamps. Note that the current date is always used; it’s not just a default value that you can override.

The field is only automatically updated when calling Model.save(). The field isn’t updated when making updates to other fields in other ways such as QuerySet.update(), though you can specify a custom value for the field in an update like that.

DateField.auto_now_add¶

Automatically set the field to now when the object is first created. Useful for creation of timestamps. Note that the current date is always used; it’s not just a default value that you can override. So even if you set a value for this field when creating the object, it will be ignored.

So, no need to add editable=False, its already non-editable.

Also, remember to remove your save() method override since it’s trying to modify those fields.

If you want to be able to modify this field, set the following instead of auto_now_add=True:

For DateField: default=date.today - from datetime.date.today()
For DateTimeField: default=timezone.now - from django.utils.timezone.now()

The default form widget for this field is a TextInput. The admin adds a JavaScript calendar, and a shortcut for “Today”. Includes an additional invalid_date error message key.
