Merge two model instance in Django
django, django-models, django-orm
Solution
Have you tried this way, first find out those values not null in `person2`:
person2_dict = {k: v for k, v in person2.__dict__.iteritems() if v is not None}
Merge them into the target `person1`:
person1.__dict__.update(person2_dict)
person1.save()
Problem
I want to merge two model instance in Django. For example I have: ``` person1: id=1 created=(some date) name=None last_name=none person2: id=None created=None name=John last_name=Daw ``` and result should be: ``` result: id=1 created=(some date) name=John last_name=Daw ``` Now I do it iterating in __dict__ property, but maybe somebody knows better way. I look for something like jQuery.extend function
