Hey everyone - I apologize for re-opening a year-old thread, but I wanted to check in again to see if this feature had been considered by anyone else or whether there were any plans to address it. The implementation I had been using to mark an attribute as dirty will be broken (with deprecation notices) again once the next version of DM is released.
Currently, the only way to achieve this is by something like the following: object.persisted_state = DataMapper::Resource::State::Dirty.new(self) if persisted_state.is_a?(DataMapper::Resource::State::Clean) property = self.class.properties['name'] object.persisted_state.original_attributes[property] = name unless persisted_state.original_attributes.include?(property) Obviously this isn't ideal and, as mentioned in the original post, pretty brittle. If there's agreement on how you would want to handle this situation in DM, I could certainly look into getting someone to work on it. Just for reference, I'm encountering this in my state_machine library and looking into how to really address the latest pull request -- https://github.com/pluginaweek/state_machine/pull/106.
