Description (last modified by Adrian Holovaty)

Given something loseley like this

class a(models.Model):
  def save(self):
    super(a, self).save()

class b(models.Model):
  ta = models.ForeignKey(a, edit_inline=models.TABULAR, num_in_admin=5)
  def save(self):
    super(b, self).save()

when I edit an a in the admin and press save the save method is called. However if I edit the b objects inline the save method for a is not called even if there were changes made to the a object aswell, the object seems to be getting saved with the superclass' save method not the new redefined one.

Has anybody looked at this? I'm having the same problem with a custom photo field, where Django is calling the photo field's super class (ImageField) save() instead.

#5573 was a duplicate.

Also, reassigning to Joseph so he can add tests for this to newforms-admin.

This is fixed in newforms-admin. It takes on the same nature that newforms works with save_instance in django.newforms.models.

This is no longer a problem since the merge of newforms-admin in [7967].
