Comment (by npinchot): I also would like the ability for `auto_now` fields to always be updated even if `update_fields` is used and they are not passed in. I agree that the current behavior of the way `update_fields` interacts with `auto_now` should stay as is. Would you accept a patch which implements a new `auto_now_always` parameter which would provide the requested behavior of automatically pushing these fields into `update_fields` if not passed in? -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22981#comment:3> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
