Invalid default value for 'dateAdded'

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is only acceptable on TIMESTAMP fields. DATETIME fields must be left either with a null default value, or no default value at all - default values must be a constant value, not the result of an expression.

relevant docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/data-type-defaults.html

You can work around this by setting a post-insert trigger on the table to fill in a "now" value on any new records.

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is version specific and is now allowed for DATETIME columns as of version 5.6.

See MySQL docs.

Also do note when specifying DATETIME as DATETIME(3) or like on MySQL 5.7.x, you also have to add the same value for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3). If not it will keep throwing 'Invalid default value'.
