Let's assume we have the following model
{{{
class Order(models.Model):
name = models.Charfield(max_length=25)
status = models.CharField(max_length=50, default="Received")
order_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
last_update = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
}}}
Now in one of the views, we want to update the status to "Ready for
Shipping" so we write the following
{{{
order.status = "Ready to Shipping"
order.save(update_fields=['status'])
}}}
The issue now is that the '**last_update**' field won't be updated in the
database as it was NOT included in the `update_fields`. Which I think is
dangerous as now the developer has to add the field manually, and even
there is no warning or exception that he/she didn't add last_update field
