PPOI is not correctly saved when the image field is inside an inline about django-versatileimagefield HOT 1 CLOSED

Hey @honi !

First off, sorry for the delay in response (had a bit of a crazy week). This is a known issue that has to do with how Django's ModelForm fails to detect changes in form fields that subclass MultiValueField (as django-versatileimagefield's admin form fields do). The good news is that there is a super-fast workaround. I'll include it here now (to unblock you) and will add it to the docs sometime within the next week (so other folks can consult the docs when they run into this).

You'll need to do two things:

1. Create a custom ModelForm that will ALWAYS report that it has changed data.
2. Integrate that custom ModelForm with your inline.

Creating the custom form that always reports changes

# yourapp/forms.py
from django.forms.models import ModelForm

class AlwaysChangedModelForm(ModelForm):
    """
    Ensures VersatileImageField's inline models ALWAYS get saved so PPOI
    values will make their way into the database.
    """
    def has_changed(self):
        return True

Integrating the custom form into an inline

# yourapp/admin.py

from django.contrib import admin

from .forms import AlwaysChangedModelForm
from .models import YourModel

class YourCustomInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = YourModel
    form = AlwaysChangedModelForm

Let me know if that works out for you!
