Hidden form field Sonata Admin Bundle

I am using Sonata Admin bundle to create admin for one of my sites. I have a form and it has many fields. I have a date field and I want this to get auto saved to database when saving the form. Means I want the date field to be hidden from the user but the date should get saved. How can I do this..?? I have tried with the hidden form type, but it was of no use. Please help me. Thanks in advance

In the AdminClass, you have preUpdate() and prePersist() methods where you can set your date value.

You can also use StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle https://github.com/stof/StofDoctrineExtensionsBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/index.rst and the Timestampable Extension

Timestampable - updates date fields on create, update and even property change.

First remove datefield in configureFormFields() function

you can use prePersist() and preUpdate() method in Admin Class

     public function prePersist($data) {
             $data->setDateField(date);
     }
     public function preUpdate($data) {
             $data->setDateField(date);
     }

In your Entitie datefield called startDate.

So, you can change setDateField() to setStartDate() in prePersist() or preUpdate()
