I have a model like this:

    createtime = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    lastupdatetime = models.DateTimeField(auto         


        

Answer 1

I needed to disable auto_now for a DateTime field during a migration and was able to do this.

events = Events.objects.all()
for event in events:
    for field in event._meta.fields:
        if field.name == 'created_date':
            field.auto_now = False
    event.save()
