Re: pub_date field is not visible in admin panel, even after configuring the app made migrations i tried every way possible from my side

auto_now_add automatically sets editable=False[1]. When editable=False,
the field isn't displayed in the admin[2]. To show these fields in the
admin but leave them non-editable, list them as read-only fields[3] like
this:

# admin.py
from .models import Question

@admin.register(Question)
class QuestionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
readonly_fields = ['pub_date']


If you want these auto_now_add fields to be in the admin and editable,
I'm not sure, I've never done this. Maybe you can't explicitly set
editable=True on the field? Usually if I want to set a DateTime
automatically and also make it editable, I won't use auto_add_now.
Instead I'll override the save method and set the field there.
