Yes, update handlers need to be requested explicitly. No, CouchDB doesn't provides any method to change your documents automagically on PUT. It's not oblivious how this feature should work in case of replication. Normally, you don't need any server side. All you need is to ensure that the clients are send you valid documents (e.g. setup validate_doc_update functions). Will they call update handlers or will they implement update handle logic on their side is not a question you should concern. Valid data is. -- ,,,^..^,,,
