Is there a way to pass arbitrary argument from serializer.save to model.save method

[Sencer Hamarat]

Hi,

I need to pass an arbitrary argument from the serializer.save() method to model.save() method?

Such as:

serialized_data = AModelSerializer(instance, data=adata_dict)

if serialized_data.is_valid():

    serialized_data.save(an_arg="value")

class Amodel(models.Model)

    def save(*args, **kwargs):

         extra_arg = kwargs["an_arg"]

The method demonstrated above is not working due to nature of serializer. Bu I can't figure out any other way to do that.

Right now, I'm open to suggestions.

Hello Sencer,

You could override the serializer class' create method.

Hope this helps you mate.
