I think I am missing something here, but here it goes. I have a model, and it is a sender for a post_save signal.
class Book(models.Model): ... created_at = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now) bought = models.BooleanField(default=False) @receiver(post_save, sender=Book) def create_sold_log(sender, instance, **kwargs): if kwargs['created'] and instance.bought: print('created and instance.bought') print('k* created', kwargs['created']) elif kwargs['created']: print('created only') print('k* created', kwargs['created']) else: print('else...') Now everytime a book object is saved, the above signal will fire. So from the below data, after the serializer is saved while the Bought is True, the kwargs['created'] is True. data = { "...": "...", "bought": True } serializer = CustomSerializer(data=data) if serializer.is_valid(): serializer.save() And suppose, from the below data, if the bought=False and I save the serializer, then also kwargs['created'] is True. data = { "...": "...", "bought": False } serializer = CustomSerializer(data=data) if serializer.is_valid(): serializer.save() But, suppose, later if I update the book object to Bought=True and save it, the kwargs['created'] is still True. book.bought = True book.save() What am I missing here? Can someone please help me understand. Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
