Django - model.save(commit=False - Is there a way to replicate this?
- by orokusaki
I'm wanting to do this:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class PetFrog(models.Model):
user = models.OnetoOneField(User)
color = models.CharField(max_length=20)
def clean(self):
if self.color == 'Green':
user = User(username='prince')
user.save(commit=False) # No commit argument in models.Model.save() like there is in ModelForm.save()
user.set_password(self.password)
user.save()
self.user = user
Is there a way to do this creation of a model instance without filling in all the required fields, and then setting them manually before trying to save() for real (which would obviously raise a "Must choose a Password" error)? I need to do this in my model, vs using a ModelForm.
If there is another way to do it (while still in clean()), I'm completely open to any suggestions.
