Description

We need to provide a post_save_action hook in ModelAdmin in order to perform additional actions after saving the object. This feature will be useful if we are sending webhooks, notifications, etc. Overriding ModelAdmin.save_model() is not possible if a m2m field is there.

    def post_save_action(request, obj):
        """
        Hook to perform an action after the 'Save' button has been pressed 
        when adding a new object.
        """
        pass


     ...
     self.save_model(request, new_object, form, not add)
     self.save_related(request, form, formsets, not add)
     self.post_save_action(request, new_object)

The method should call after the ModelAdmin.save_related() is completed.

Hi!

Feature requests require discussion on the Django Forum (https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DevelopersMailingList) first where more people will see the request and an appropriate discussion can be had. Having said that it's unlikely to be accepted as the admin isn't intended to be a universal app platform.

Also check out the signals to see whether this is appropriate for your needs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/signals/#post-save

If you want further help on this, please seek help from one of our friendly communities: https://www.djangoproject.com/community/

Also, post_save signal already exists and we don't want to add redundant contrib-specific signals.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
