Default value for date fields

[Tegola]

Hello,
What's the best way to add the current date to a record field?

Here's is what was my initial guess:

Ext.define('Message', {
	extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
	config: {
		fields: [
			{ name: 'id', type: 'int' },
			{ name: 'title', type: 'string' },
			{ name: 'body', type: 'string' },
			{ name: 'created-at', type: 'date', dateFormat: 'Y-m-d H:i:s', defaultValue: new Date() }
		]
	}
});

However, "new Date()" picks the date when the Model class is instantiated. I would it to pick the date when I do a Ext.create('Message').

I know I could just do:

Ext.create('Message', { 'created-at': new Date() })

But I was searching for a way to make sencha do this automatically.

Thanks

constructor:function(){
        var data = arguments[0]||{};


        data['created-at'] = new Date();

        if(arguments.length===0){
            this.callParent([data]);
        }else{
           this.callParent(arguments);
        } 
}
