why created_at is greater than updated_at while inserting data in table

[Ankit Khandewal]

hello, i am using this code to update created_at and updated_at in models:
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at= models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True,null=True)

but however there is created _at is greater than updated_at when data is
inserted:

created_at -> 2018-11-26 11:11:30.020989
updated_at -> 2018-11-26 11:11:30.019762

please help, thank you.

I think it has to do with django adding timezone.now() on each field with
auto_now on it when saving to the databse.. the code for the first field
will get timezone.now() slightly earlier then the second one

is there any fix to this?

and with this method created_at and updated_at both arguments will trigger
the field update event with timezon.now(), is there any other method to
enter only created_at at time of inserting

created_at = models.DateTimeField(editable=False)updated_at = models.DateTimeField()
def save(self, *args, **kwargs): ''' On save, update timestamps '''
if not self.id:
self.created_at = timezone.now()
self.updated_at = self.created_at
self.updated_at = timezone.now()
return super(User, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
