#35890 new Bug
pre_save field in parent models are not called during update in update_or_create — at Initial Version
Description ¶
With the following models:
class Parent(models.Model): modified_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) class Child(Parent): modified_at_child = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
When calling update_or_create
, the pre_save of the modified_at
field is not called, and the field is not updated:
# Create >>> instance, _ = Child.objects.update_or_create(pk=1) >>> instance.modified_at datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 6, 14, 1, 11, 52881, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc) >>> instance.modified_at_child datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 6, 14, 1, 11, 54363, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc) # Update >>> instance, _ = Child.objects.update_or_create(pk=1) >>> instance.modified_at datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 6, 14, 1, 11, 52881, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc) >>> instance.modified_at_child datetime.datetime(2024, 11, 6, 14, 1, 21, 517245, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
The regression seems to have happened in https://github.com/django/django/commit/6cc0f22a73970dd7c0d29d4d8d2ff9e1cc862b30
Using self.model._meta.concrete_fields
instead of self.model._meta.local_concrete_fields
seems to solve the issue, but I don't know the internal API well enough to understand all of the implications.
I'm also preparing a PR with a unit test and the fix, I'll update this ticket when it will be ready.
