Issue

Proposed enhancement to Datetime fields:

Currently, the options for default values in Datetime fields include "today", "yesterday," etc. However, there is a need to add an additional option "now" to represent the current time. This addition needs a modification to the time interval, as a 1-minute interval is preferred over the default 15-minute interval.
Additionally, there should be an option to specify a custom time interval for Datetime fields, different from the default 15-minute interval.

Expected Behavior

The option "now" should be available as a default value for Datetime fields.
Users should have the ability to specify a custom time interval for Datetime fields.

Actual Behavior

Currently, the default options for Datetime fields do not include "now."
The default time interval for Datetime fields is set to 15 minutes.

Context

This enhancement would improve the usability and flexibility of Datetime fields, making it especially useful for scenarios where real-time data or precise time tracking is required.
