How can I store history of ManyToManyField using django-simple-history.

Question

How can I store history of ManyToManyField using django-simple-history. I used HistoricalRecords with attribute m2m_filds but it is throwing error: unexpected keyword ar

Answer 1

As the author of django-simple-history says this isn't possible to detect change in only specific fields because

As you already know simple-history doesn't look at the values being saved at all. It blindly saves a new historical version on every save or delete signal.

He also says it may be possible Field Tracker do this job.
