I was maintaining Laravel 5.1 code and at that time recently updated to 5.3. Updated all server softwares n everything which took a lot of my time.

After a month, I had to add a field to table and found unusual error. In laravel 5.1 migrations, created_at and updated_at default values were set as 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and mysql update didnt allow it.

Now everything else works fine except I can't make changes to tables. Should I leave it as it is?
