Re: "created" not filling right

Jon and Brendon,

Thank you for the answers.

In my case, there some code between find() and create().
Just some ifs that I´m not showing here.

What I want is create a new record, and that´s why I call the funtion
create() empty;
Of course I could send $this->data to create function and call save()
(empty).

Anyway, I spent some time looking in model.php file of libs folder and
I found that Cake verifies
a variable named __exists right before put the date in 'created'
column.
Normaly it is null or false, but right after a find() it becomes true
if something is found.
Thats why 'created' is NULL in this case.

I think that create() function should reset this variable either.
