Does a model's save() method get called when using loaddata for fixtures?

Question

I\'m trying to generate an automatic slug for a model whenever it is empty, from another field. This is the code:

class Position(RichText):
    name = models         


        

Answer 1

This is normal behavior, from the documentation:

When fixture files are processed, the data is saved to the database as is. Model defined save methods and pre_save signals are not called

.
