Django Model Default Datetime with Timezone Always Midnight

Question

Current field in my model is as follows...

from django.utils import timezone

class Test(models.Model):
    assigned_date_time = models.DateTimeField(
        null=True, verbose_name='Assigned Date', default=timezone.now)

When this object is created, the assigned_date_time is always 0 or rather "midnight" of today. I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong.

Thank you in advance.

How did you import `timezone`? Can you add the relevant import statement(s)? — Willem Van Onsem, Aug 11 '19 at 18:16
Do you perhaps assign a value yourself when you construct a `Test`? — Willem Van Onsem, Aug 11 '19 at 18:17
I feel dumb. I am an assigning a value of `datetime.date.today()` instead of just letting the default get used. Didn't even look at how I was saving it because originally I was using a naive date. — Oh Great One, Aug 11 '19 at 20:14

In order for the field default to be executed, a value should not be assigned to that field.
