return value (cleaned_data) from clean() method is ignored

[krejcik]

Any changes made by model's clean method are ignored.

Sequence of calls in BaseForm.full_clean() is following:

1. _clean_fields - which calls clean on fields and creates instance with cleaned values
2. _clean_form - which class clean on model, assign return to form.cleaned_data but instance is not updated
3. finally save_instance(construct=False) is called (in previous version of Django model instance was created here from correct cleaned_data)

Closing invalid because I can't understand what problem you are describing. You seem to be describing some sort of regression with cleaned_data handling, but then you talk about the clean method on a *model*, which suggests you mean model validation.

An example would be extremely helpful. Please reopen if you care to provide sample code, along with usage, and a description of what is happening, what should be happening (and what used to happen if this is actually a regression).
