# Default fields in the module

Fields "Created By", "Created Date", "Last Modified Date" and "Last Modified By" are created by default in the modules with the following [templates](/v1/docs/modules#create-module):

- With Preconfigured Media Settings and Audit Fields
- Without Media Settings and with Audit Fields
- With Preconfigured File Area Settings and Audit Fields

so, there is no need to created them manually.

***Note!*** It is required to enable User Management Module in the site in order to create the modules with default fields.

| **Field Name** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Created By | Link to the User managment module that is filled in with the name of current user by default. |
| Created Date | "Date-Time" field that is filled in with current time by default (time when item was created) |
| Last Modified Date | "Date-Time" field that is filled in with time when last change was applied to the item |
| Last Modified By | "Users" field that is filled in with name of the user who last applied a change to the item ***Note!*** The value of 'Last Modified By' field is not editable. Can be enabled only on 'Create Field' form ***Note!*** 'Last Modified By' option is available on Field Definition Edit window only if Field Content is "Users" and Field Type is "Selectbox" |

All fields from the list above can be also created, updated or deleted manually as all other regular fields.

**Limitations:**

- "Last Modified By" field Cannot be converted to the module link (it does not appear in the [User Field Conversion](/v1/docs/user-management-module) list);
- "Last Modified By" field becomes empty if item was updated by system (scheduled import job, create/update action etc.);
- "Last Modified Date" and "Last Modified By" fields are updated even if fields content was not really changed (for example, after clicking on "Save" button in item info sheet in Classic UI without any changes)
