``True`` will cause the field to have ``editable=False`` and ``blank=True``

The ``auto_now`` and ``auto_now_add`` options will always use the date in
the :ref:`default timezone <default-current-time-zone>` at the moment of
creation or update. If you need something different, you may want to
consider simply using your own callable default or overriding ``save()``
instead of using ``auto_now`` or ``auto_now_add``; or using a
``DateTimeField`` instead of a ``DateField`` and deciding how to handle the
conversion from datetime to date at display time.
