Another option is to replace the field with a "created" date time, and
add a computed property called "new" that tests to see whether it is
old or not.

Re: Update model field after a certain period

[Mark Harley]

One option would be to create a custom management command 
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/custom-management-commands/) 
that checks for models with a `created_at < now - 1month`. You could then 
run this, say once a day, using crontab 
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto). Here created_at is a 
`datetime` field with `auto_now_add=True`.

Update model field after a certain period

[salma . essalmani . wbc]

I have a Django model with a Boolean field called New. During the model 
creation it's set to True, but I want it to be updated automatically to 
False after a certain period (1 month post creation for example). Can I use 
signals here?
