Hi, I found myself with a use-case today of wanting to return some data from an update, as I want to make sure I return exactly what is in the database without making an extra query.
I've found https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28682 and agree with the resolution there. I suppose there is a way to do this in a backwards compatible way, something like: Foo.objects.update(["id", "name"], name="Rob") But it's very ugly. But how about a new method: Foo.objects.update_returning(["id", "name"], name="Rob") Doesn't seem quite so bad. There's also a possibility of something like: Foo.objects.update_returning(updates={"name": "Rob"}, returning=["id", "name"]) I'd expect it to return a list of dicts. I'm not sure what's best, if anything. It could be it's a bit too niche, but it is sometimes quite useful.
