The Auto-Sync value (Never / OnInsert / OnUpdate / Always) specifies if the property is automatically synchronized. Depending on the target database server, synchronization is done via the RETURNING clause or separate SELECT in the generated SQL statement. You can check this via dbMonitor.

I sitll would like to see a detailed explanation of AutoSync.
I set AutoGenerated = true and AutoSynch to OnInsert since I don't understand exactly what this value does, and my database constraints require the modified date not be null.

Where can I find an detailed explanation of AutoSync Mode?

1. Did you set the following attributes for your CreatedDate and ModifiedDate properties in *.lqml?
CreatedDate: AutoGeneratedValue=True, Auto-Sync=OnInsert
ModifiedDate: AutoGeneratedValue=True, Auto-Sync=OnUpdate

2. Specify (via dbMonitor) the values of parameters used in the INSERT statement for "CreatedDate" and "ModifiedDate" columns.

3. Send us a small test project with the corresponding DDL/DML script for reproducing the issue in our environment.

Please refer to our response on Tue May 23, 2017 in this thread.

With these settings, the date value should be generated in the database (via default value of column, via trigger, etc), then it will be returned to your program via RETURNING clause or separate SELECT statement.

If this doesn't help, please upload a small test project with the corresponding DDL/DML script for reproducing to our ftp server (ftp://ftp.devart.com, credentials: anonymous/anonymous ) or to any file exchange server so that we could download it from there.
