Django update one field by DeleteView

[Rupam Hazra]

Hi all,

I have project model.one functionality is when a project delete only is_deleted field modified by 1 so that in reality it does not delete from database just the status changed.That means i want to update the is_deleted field without any form.

It's is usally called safe delete or soft delete or even logical delete. There are some approach to that on Django with pros and cons, I suggest you to research a little bit to see whats is best for you.
