Thanks..but I'm already overriding save, and creating an event record... I need to know how to do something extra when the data is loaded initially..... I know I could query the record again into a new object and use that for the original values..but that seems pretty hackish ...so I'd prefer to try and save off the original values into a dict when the record gets loaded...
