## Introducing "Created At" and "Last Modified At" Fields!

NocoDB is thrilled to introduce the "Created At" and "Updated At" fields to supercharge your data management. 🌟

📅 Use Case 1: Timestamping all records 📅

With the "Created At" field, you'll know precisely when each record was born, down to the second. 🕒 It's perfect for tracking the age of your data and identifying trends over time. 📈

🔄 Use Case 2: Real-Time Updates 🔄

"Updated At" is your dynamic ally. It records the exact moment a record was last modified, keeping you in sync with the latest changes. 🚀 No more wondering if your data is up-to-date!

Please note Created At and Updated At existed as default fields as date time values from day 1 of NocoDB. However, from this version these will be new fields that you could add to any new table (even multiple times).

❗Upgrade note

This upgrade may take time depending on the number of bases and tables. We've added 4 new default fields (Create By, Last Modified By, Created At, Updated At) to each table. You can monitor the upgrade progress in the logs and please be patient.

New Fields Upgarde behavior:
- Bases (Default Database): All tables will have these new fields. New tables created in this version will also have them.
- Bases with External Databases:
- Existing tables: Default fields are NOT created. You can manually create them if needed.
- New tables: These fields will be created if you create new tables.
