If I override save() in a model, can I get the original value of a field to compare to the new value, to see if it has changed?
I know it's easy to do in a form: form.initial['field_name'] But I want to do the same thing regardless of which form is used to change the model instance. In other words, by overriding save(). I suppose I could use self.pk to get the original value from the database before saving (and will do so if that's the only way), but I'm looking for a way that does not require hitting the database again, similar to the form method. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
