#10044 closed (fixed)

FileField should accept assignment of File objects

Description

Currently, FileField attributes can only receive new File content by way of the save() method, which commits the file to storage immediately. In order to support model validation, and perhaps elsewhere, these attributes should be able to accept a File object directly and delay saving them to storage until the model instance is saved.

Updated FieldFile to accept File objects through attribute assignment, saving them automatically when the associated instance is saved

Removed the save_form_data() override in FileField, now that the standard behavior is sufficient for populating a model from a form (and delaying the save is better typically, anyway)

(In [9766]) Fixed #10044: You can now assign directly to file fields (instance.filefield = somefile). Thanks, Marty Alchin.

The patch breaks the behavior of the width_field and height_field properties of ImageField when using the admin.
