I have a case where I need to assign a field value from the return of a
database function, but I do not want to set a default for the field.
Currently, the following will work:
{{{
#!python
from django.db.models.expressions import Func
from .models import MyModel
instance = MyModel.objects.create(
...
)
instance.code = Func(*my_args, function='generate_unique_code')
instance.save(update_fields=['code'])
}}}
However, the following:
{{{
#!python
from django.db.models.expressions import Func
from .models import MyModel
instance = MyModel.objects.create(
...,
code=Func(*my_args, function='generate_unique_code')
)
}}}
produces `TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object
or a number, not 'Func'`
I would expect that these two methods for assigning the value should
behave similarly.
