1. Why are you doing this using a signal? Signals are best used when
saving of Model1 needs to trigger some action on Model2. If you want to
modify Model1 itself, you're better off doing this inside MyModel::save
2. If you really want to do it this way, put an if condition in my_func
so that instance.save() is called only the first time. It is hard to
give details without knowing the reason why you're doing this. But
something like this would work:
def my_func(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if instance.status == 'task completed':
return
# do something
instance.status = 'task completed'
instance.save()
Or even something like this:
def my_func(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
try:
if instance.in_signal:
return
except AttributeError:
instance.in_signal = True
# do something
instance.status = 'task completed'
instance.save()
