Node created timestamp and updated timestamp are different for new nodes

Created on 28 July 2017, about 7 years ago

When a new node is created, the created timestamp and changed timestamp are not the same. This is because of the function copyFormValuesToEntity in ContentEntityForm.php which copies values only from non-widget fields to the entity when the node is saved. Since 'changed' is a hidden field, even though it has the same timestamp as created until this function is executed , now gets a different time than the created.

I would assume that created and changed times should be the same for new nodes. Thoughts appreciated!

Thanks,
