I want to provide a method as follows,
def update_some_model_field(key, field_name, value):
'''user provides the primary key of row, field name in model and the
value and the method updates the field for that row with the value'''
1. model_obj = Some_model.objects.get(pk = key)
2. model_obj."field_name" = value ## HOW to make this line generic??
I do not want to do lots of If as shown below.
3. model_obj.save()
For line 2 another way to write it is as follows, which I want to
avoid:
if field_name == "field_a":
model_obj.field_a = value
elif field_name == "field_b":
model_obj.field_b = value
and so on... for 20 fields of 20 models....
Any suggestions?
