TYPO3 Core

As soon as 'crdate' is defined in a TCA, the core functionality to format the crdate from the extended List view in the backend List module is broken. Instead, the timestamp is displayed. This is disadvantageous if you need to set the crdate when e.g. creating records through an extension plugin because extbase requires to have fields defined in TCA to access them.

I'd suggest having a way to define crdate in TCA to use it in FE plugins and having the auto-formatting. 'eval' => 'datetime' does not affect anything here.
