Set date only on insert

How can I set the date only on insert?

Here is part of my code:

Field::inst( 'modelos.create_date' )
    ->getFormatter( function ( $val, $data, $opts ) {
        return date( 'd-m-Y', strtotime( $val ) );
    } )
    ->setValue( date("Y-m-d") ),

The problem is that, when ever I update the row I update also the date. As you see I get the date when I add the record but I will like to set the date only when I add not when I update.

This is a perfect use case for server-side events. Listen for the preEdit event and set the value there.
