Hi, in section "Specifying which fields to save" (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#specifying-which-fields-to-save) it reads that `update_fields` can be specified mostly for performance benefits... However, I found that regarding a field with "auto_now=True" there is a different outcome. IOW, specifying `update_fields` can be used to keep the old date in respective "auto_now=True"-field UNLESS that field is also explicitly given un `update_fields`
I hope I got this correct - at least that was the impression from my own tests with Django 2.1. Than this should be more prominently stated in the documentation. Thanks for Django.
