We have several customers that record Leads in Odoo after they have already been created in another system (some road-warriors for example that only record their work from time to time an not in real-time). Is there a way to allow the user to specify the Create Date of the Lead (and all related records) different from current date/time?

I have tried forcing the create_date when creating/writing to a record in models.py but it seems that there is a number of fields that get created/updated when a new lead is created (date_open, date_last_stage_update, mail.thread date time fields, etc.).

This seems to be such an obvious need but I cannot find anyone talking about this...

Is this possible? Is there a module that does this? Has anyone done anything like this before?

Thanks in advance for any lead you might give me!
