ASP.Net MVC 4 C# -- scaffolding template, last modified date ?
How can I change below #8 to automatically populate the POdetail database columns (attached) ?
I don't want to hand code CreatedBy, LastModifiedBy, CreateDate, ModifiedDate each time I add a new table via the below like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10935803/successful-model-editing-without-a-bunch-of-hidden-fields talks about.
--------------------------
Steps
1. create new APP
2. RMB on Models FOLDER, Add, ADO.NET Entity Data Model
** Server = DBTEST
** Database = MVC_test (make sure table has "PK=ID" so Edit, Details, Delete work
3. REBUILD
4. RMB on Controllers FOLDER, Add, Controller, Default1Controller
** Template = MVC with read/write actions and views, using Entity Framework
** Model Class = Table6 (MvcApplication14.Models)
** Data Context Class = MVC_testEntities (MvcApplication14.Models)
5. edit /Views/Shared/_Layout.csht
6. change /Filters/InitializeSimpleM
7. run APP, login, click "Test Text", click "Create New", save
8. WORKS, but displays CreatedBy, LastModifiedBy, CreateDate, ModifiedDate as editable textboxes and does not enter default values
** CreatedBy, LastModifiedBy, CreateDate, ModifiedDate need to automatically populate as HIDDEN fields

I'm not really clear on what you need.

Just some website examples showing a examples of the createdby, lastmodified, etc in ViewModel/etc like you talked about.
The point is that createdby, lastmodified, is not in the viewmodel, but in the Entity Framework model. Any example of viewmodel will illustrate this concept. This was covered in:

The scaffolding then will not include those fields for the view. You still have to write code to handle the fields when you do the database work, but that's not really avoidable.
