Hi 

I'm having trouble with reading some data, and I think I sort why a 
particular operation is happening at a technical level, but I'm left 
wondering if it's the right behaviour.

Here's what I'm doing.

In one operation, I'm doing a read of a model for all fields 

   $this->Model->read(null, $id);

Then I'm constructing a new $data variable that contains the $id, and any 
changed fields.  Typically, this just has a changed status field. I end up 
with :

$data = array('id' => $id, 'status' => 'closed');
$this->Model->save($data);

However, when I look at the SqlLog, it would seem that all data is retained 
from the previous read, and the new data is merged with the existing data, 
and it is all saved.  The side effect is that the modified field is not 
updated.

Is this intentional behaviour?  I thought that if you were to specify the 
primary key and data in the input of the save, then it would just save that 
data, and not data from a previous read.

Should I be doing a find('first') instead of a read() to avoid this?

Regards
