I can see some benefit in consistency here but what do you do about saving the current object?
This is a problem in general with any actions performed on the same screen a change form. 1. User enters the object detail view 2. User changes a field 3. User selects an action. Does the action apply to the saved or unsaved state? If the former then the admin must warn that the object will be saved before performing the action whereas the latter option would be rather confusing (do we keep or drop the changes?) In general I don't think performing actions on an object makes sense in 'edit' mode and there is no details view in the Django admin other than an 'edit' mode. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
