I have some code that modifies related items when a model is saved. I've tried this by both using a post_save signal and by putting the code directly in a save() override.

When I save an instance in the Django admin, it never works.
When I save an instance in ./manage.py shell it always works.

Why would this be?

For instance, if my code (in the save override) is this:

    self.some_m2m_field.clear()
    self.some_m2m_field.add(this_thing)

Then if I go into the admin and save the instance, this_thing is not attached to the instance. But if I do a .save() in the shell and check it has been assigned.

I assume I'm missing something fundamental about this.

Thanks,
Shawn
