Populate Column Default Value Inside Database Entity Framework Model First

Question

Is there any EF Model-First approach to populate LastModified column to GetDate() function in database.

Most of my searches took me to code-first alternatives. But could find Model-First approach. I see StoreGeneratedPattern = Computed in properties window.

Can you please tell me how to use this to populate date using GetDate () function in database.

GETDATE() is a sql server function...EF is C#...are you trying to tell sql server to generate the date or is your application going to generate the date and then send it to sql server? — BillRuhl, Dec 23 '14 at 23:01

Check my answer here, I believe you need to do same thing to Because eventually your date property needs to be set from the C# code, Or you can do it from the database level through triggers for example.
