Mark as deleted instead of actually deleting in DeleteView

[Rakhee Menon]

Hello Everyone ,

Can anyone tell me how to write views where, when clicked  on delete button the data shouldn't get deleted only the flag should turn 0

try use : SoftDeletableModel and SoftDeletableManager of django-model-utils

https://django-model-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/models.html#softdeletablemodel
https://django-model-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/managers.html#softdeletablemanager

Just use a standard update view that toggles the field that you are using for the object status. You can make the buttons on the form say whatever you'd like.

I would also recommend overriding the default model manager to automatically exclude objects that have been "deleted" if that makes sense for your project. Otherwise you'll need to remember to exclude those deleted objects manually everywhere.
