Update POST request data

[paulkatich]

I would like to update the POST data, part of the data should be updated by the server. I see we do that for soft delete where we can override delete_item_raw and delete_item and it works. Similarly I want to update the POST request data before saving to the database. I am overriding the "create_item_raw" method but getting an error. How can I update post and not run in to the builtins.dict error.

venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/sqlalchemy/util/compat.py", line 207, in raise_ raise exception sqlalchemy.orm.exc.UnmappedInstanceError: Class 'builtins.dict' is not mapped

You're interested in update_item possibly? https://flask-resty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=update_item#flask_resty.ModelView.update_item (also maybe update_item_raw)

can you give me more information? can you give us the code that's raising the error and the full stack trace?
