[django] How to update fields in a model without creating a new record in django?

I have a model in django that I want to update only, that is, when I call it and set the data, it will not create a new record, only update the existing one. How can I do this? Here is what I have:

class TemperatureData(models.Model):   
    date = models.DateTimeField()   
    value = models.PositiveIntegerField()   
    alert = models.BooleanField()

You should do it this way ideally

t = TemperatureData.objects.get(id=1)
t.value = 999
t.save(['value'])

This allow you to specify which column should be saved and rest are left as they currently are in database. (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4102)!

Django has some documentation about that on their website, see: Saving changes to objects. To summarize:

.. to save changes to an object that's already in the database, use save().

Sometimes it may be required to execute the update atomically that is using one update request to the database without reading it first.

Also get-set attribute-save may cause problems if such updates may be done concurrently or if you need to set the new value based on the old field value.

In such cases query expressions together with update may by useful:

TemperatureData.objects.filter(id=1).update(value=F('value') + 1)

In my scenario, I want to update the status of status based on his id

student_obj = StudentStatus.objects.get(student_id=101)
student_obj.status= 'Enrolled'
student_obj.save()

Or If you want the last id from Student_Info table you can use the following.

student_obj = StudentStatus.objects.get(student_id=StudentInfo.objects.last().id)
student_obj.status= 'Enrolled'
student_obj.save()
