Entity Framework Model First DateTime default value

Question

I'm trying to give some DateTime fields default values from the model browser.

Whatever I type into the Default Value field, I get an error telling me The value must be in the form 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fffZ'. I am assuming that format string uses the scheme documented here.

The value I punched in is 2014-05-23 00:00:00.0000, which I believe is of that form. I'm not sure whether 0 is a valid value for the Z component, but I don't know what the right value would be.

What could be wrong with the string I gave?

I figured it out. The Z component was indeed the issue. I just needed to use 2014-05-23 00:00:00.000Z instead.
