Hi Sithu, I would still need to a way determine when a record expires. A Boolean wouldn’t help in that regard. But I think this error has something to do with Django’s delete method. The filtering aspect works just fine.

Then if that field is True, delete the object? I think that would be cheaper and cleaner, especially with lookups.

I’m performing a delete on the model for any record that has an expires date that has passed, and I keep getting a TypeError that Model is unhashable. Am I doing something wrong?
