You can predefine the date_created, date_modified, user_created, user_modified, url values for both content type, use, computed field, or pass values to the create form to populate these fields.
These are possibilities. If you could elaborate on the when the two content types are created and how they are linked. What is the order of creation... I could help.

I'm looking to implement Drupal 5.3 and I'm going to be using the CCK to create some different content types.
Two or more of my content types will have the same metadata field names and types: for example: date_created, date_modified, user_created, user_modified, url
Is there a way I can set this up so that my content types will ALWAYS get these shared fields ... or do I just have to setup those fields seperately with each content type I create?
Thanks! Tom
