create a new model instance version instead of update
I have a model with a version field - autocreate timestamp. When a model instance is being saved I want to create a new instance with a new timestamp instead of updating the old model instance.
Is it possible?
I thought of overrid开发者_运维百科ing the model save() method but I don't know how to create a new instance without creating a infinite save() loop.
Thanks
You could set self.id = None
in the overridden save
method - then in the super method, Django would do an INSERT rather than an UPDATE.
Or, as pointed out in the documentation here, you could use the force_insert=True
parameter in the call to save
, which does the same thing.
