Description
Hi there,
I am a bit new to tortoise-orm and was playing with things where I encountered a problem where an auto_now=True datetimefield does not get updated if I call model.save(update_fields=['updated_field']). It only gets updated if I pass the auto_now field in update_fileds. I don't know if this was intentional or a miss or just that's how things work.
