I ran into the same problem. Okm’s answer sent me on the right path but it seems to me it is possible to get the same functionality by just overriding the save()
method of your Model.
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if self.pk is None:
saved_image = self.image
self.image = None
super(Material, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
self.image = saved_image
super(Material, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
This definitely saves the information correctly.
