Thanks for the reply.

That's the idea, but it works only if I don't add creation_field to the 
add view:

    <addform
        label="Add Foo"
        name="AddFoo.html"
        schema="sandbox.interfaces.IFoo"
        content_factory="sandbox.foo.Foo"
        fields="title"
        permission="zope.ManageContent"
        />


When fields="title", the creation_date attribute is set upon creation 
and available for later editing.

When fields="title creation_date", the creation date is proposed as 
empty in the add form. I'd like it to be already set when the add form 
is called.
