How to trigger a function with an update view

[MH]

Hi

I have an update view which enables me via a form to update the data for a particular model object instance (as it should do). However, when a particular field gets changed I would not only need to update the fields in the database, but I would need the save routine of the update view to trigger a computation and to update another field with a new value as well. How can this be done?

Best regards

Hello,

You overwright in forms.py in your form save()

Example:

def save(self, commit=True):
    instance = super(MyForm, self).save(commit=False)
    instance.flag1 = 'flag1' in self.cleaned_data['multi_choice'] # etc
    if commit:
        instance.save()
    return instance
