Unable to create new items because of "date_updated" field problems

[PostPollux]

Preflight Checklist

• I have completed all Troubleshooting Steps.
• I'm on the latest version of Directus.
• There's no other issue that already describes my problem.

Describe the Bug

Creating new items of a collection with "date_updated" field fails (with user interface). It just seems to do nothing, when hitting the green checkmark in the top right.

When I create a collection WITHOUT the "date_updated" field, everything works as expected. No problems with adding new items through the user interface. Also "date_created" has no problems.

To Reproduce

1. create a collection that has the "date_updated" field.
2. Create an arbitrary field for that collection. e.g. an input field.
3. In the userinterface go to the collection and click on the plus to add your first item to the collection
4. Fill in the data and click on the checkmark button.

Errors Shown

I get a 400 BadRequest and this is in the response body of the request:

{
   "errors":[
      {
         "message":"\"date_updated\" is required",
         "extensions":{
            "code":"FAILED_VALIDATION",
            "field":"date_updated",
            "type":"required"
         }
      }
   ]
}

As a reminder:

• Provide as much detail as possible in the issue description
