This is with Django v2.2. We use tombstoning via a custom BaseModelManager to mark items as deleted in the database but keep them around for reference.
class BaseModelManager(models.Manager): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.include_tombstoned = kwargs.pop('include_tombstoned',False) super(BaseModelManager, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def get_queryset(self): if not self.include_tombstoned: return TombstonedQuerySet(self.model).filter(is_tombstoned=False) return TombstonedQuerySet(self.model) class BaseModel(models.Model): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(BaseModel, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # manager objects = BaseModelManager() all_objects = BaseModelManager(include_tombstoned=True) This way models can reference Model.objects when they want undeleted items and Model.all_objects when they want to included deleted items. We now have a situation where we want a ForeignKey, which uses objects, to use all_objects instead. That is instead of this: ref_member = models.ForeignKey(Member, related_name='+', null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Do something like this: ref_member = models.ForeignKey(Member, *queryset=Member.all_objects.all()*, related_name='+', null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE) Is there any way to do the equivalent of this? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
