Description

I have seen an ​issue and I know that currently bulk_update does not update the date fields that have the auto_now=True parameter when calling
I have a suggestion to add a new parameter to the bulk_update method update_auto_now=True or auto_now=True that updates the field if the parameter is True (which by default it would be) and if the field has not been previously updated before calling the method.

I would love to try this update if you guys see it viable.

For the same reasons update (#15566) and update_or_create (ticket:35890#comment:6) don't implicitly cover auto_now fields in call cases I wouldn't expect bulk_update do to so either.

Given there's an open ticket to deprecate auto_now #22995 altogether I'm going to close this ticket.
