question: can FieldTracker be used with ManyToManyField?

[pcompassion]

The doc doesn't mention ManyToManyField.

I don't know; maybe @treyhunner does? If you try it and find out, submit a PR to update the docs!

[treyhunner]

@pcompassion I'm pretty sure FieldTracker does not work with ManyToMany fields.

Also, you know if it work with reverse ForeignKey @treyhunner ?

class Title(models.Model):
    tracker = FieldTracker(fields=['descriptions'])

class Description(models.Model):
    title = models.ForeignKey(related_name='descriptions')

I checked inside post_save and no fields showed up.

[treyhunner]

@little-gui I don't think it would since reverse foreign key is not a field.

@carljm @treyhunner do you think we should update the documentation to detail what is not handled?

It could make sense, as there is not a long list of possible situations.

[treyhunner]

@romgar I think that's a great idea. Explicit is better than implicit. 👍

[carljm]

fine with me

Please update the documentation to be explicit. Or better yet support m2m fields, the tracker feels incomplete without it.
