I have the following model
, which when saved calculates hash_id
field based on the pk
:
class MyTable(models.Model):
something = models.CharField(max_length=255)
reported = models.IntegerField(default=0, blank=True)
hash_id = models.CharField(max_length=32, db_index=True, unique=True, blank=True)
def save(self, *a, **kw):
super().save(*a, **kw)
self.hash_id = hash_fn(self.pk)
super().save(*a, **kw)
In one of my views
I have the following lines, which are supposed to increment reported
field by 1, however reported
is incremented by 2, because of the overridden save
method:
my_table_ins.reported = F('reported') + 1
my_table_ins.save()
Ideally I would like something among the lines:
def save(self, *a, **kw):
super().save(*a, exclude=['reported'], **kw)
self.hash_id = hash_fn(self.pk)
super().save(*a, **kw)
Adding to @martin-castro-alvarez answer, if you want to update all fields except for a few, you can do this:
fields_to_exclude = {'reported','another_field'}
# automatically populate a list with all fields, except the ones you want to exclude
fields_to_update = [f.name for f in MyTable._meta.get_fields() if f.name not in fields_to_exclude and not f.auto_created]
my_table_ins.save(update_fields=fields_to_update)
this will work in Django>=1.8. In older versions you can use model._meta.get_all_field_names()
