I ran into this issues as well, I solved it redefining the get_serializer_method and adding custom logic to handle the partial update. Python 3

 class ViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
     def get_serializer_class(self):
         if self.action == "partial_update":
             return PartialUpdateSerializer

class PartialUpdateSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    def partial_update(self, instance, validated_data):
       *custom logic*
       return super().update(instance, validated_data)
