#18362 closed Bug (fixed)

model save with update_fields should accept both field.name and field.attname

Description

Currently only field.name is accepted in update_fields argument. It seems field.attname should be accepted, too. Most commonly this will be encountered when trying to save a related field by "_id" appendix - for example update_fields=profile will work, but update_fieldsprofile_id will not work currently.

In my opinion this should work, as profile_id works in many other places, too, and this could be useful for automatic tracking of field changes for example.

Refs #4102, #18306.

hmmh - I can't edit the description. so, in above the examples are "update_fields=['profile']/['profile_id']" instead of the helpful wiki-links...
