Description

Usage: autoTimestamp(boolean)

By default when you have properties called dateCreated and lastUpdated in a domain class, Grails will automatically maintain the state of these in the database. If you don't want this to happen then you can set autoTimestamp to false:

static mapping = {
    autoTimestamp false
}
