CreationDateTimeField is not editable even with editable=True in version 1.5.7

I have a test that is passing using django-extensions 1.5.5 but fails in 1.5.7. The test tries to set a CreationDateTimeField and save a model, but the model does not get updated.

I have the following abstract model that some of my models inherit from:

class AuditModel(models.Model):
    date_created = fields.CreationDateTimeField(editable=True)
    # ...

    class Meta:
        abstract = True

And a model that extends AuditModel:

class SetPasswordToken(AuditModel):
    # Other fields

Here’s the test:

def test_set_password_redirects_to_login_if_older_than_30_days(self):
    user = UserFactory()
    token = SetPasswordToken.objects.create(user=user,
                                            date_created=timezone.now() - relativedelta(days=60))

    # Test that relies on date_created not being today

When I use pdb after creating a SetPasswordToken I see that token.date_created is set to today, even though it is supposed to be set to 60 days ago. I also tried creating a token, explicitly setting token.date_created, then calling token.save() and it still will not be set to 60 days ago. This test works properly on version 1.5.5.

Not fixed / still a problem. Likely due to https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/pull/693 (https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions/commit/818f602214a3ea8144c184d5cf1ed41de0ae426c): Django overwrites editable/blank unconditionally (see https://github.com/django/django/pull/12274 for a fix).

Better to keep this closed and directly submit a PR 😃
