symfony's schema can create be used to automate this for you. In your
schem.yml just create a null-value created_at field:
table_name:
field1: { ....... }
field2: { .... }
created_at: ~
symfony will automatically add the date into the created_at field of your
table everytime a record is created. In addition, you can do the same with
updated_at which is automatically changed everytime an UPDATE query is run
on your database.
Now, to answer your question for future reference. I find the best way to
set default values is after you have instantiated your form object in your
action. For example:
$this->form = new SomeForm();
$this->form->setDefaults(array(
"field1"=>"value",
"field2"=>"value"
));
