class Game(models.Model):
    STATE_CHOICES = (
        ('S', 'Setup'),
        ('A', 'Active'),
        ('P', 'Paused'),
        ('F', 'Finished')
        )
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    owner = models.ForeignKey(User)
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    started = models.DateTimeField(null=True)
    state = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=STATE_CHOICES, default='S')

我想要创建单位，并且当状态从安装程序变为活动状态时，“开始”字段填充了当前的日期时间(等等)。

我怀疑需要一个模型实例方法，但文档似乎没有太多的用法来使用它们。

更新：我已将以下内容添加到我的Game类中：

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(Game, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.old_state = self.state

    def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
        if self.old_state == 'S' and self.state == 'A':
            self.started = datetime.datetime.now()
        super(Game, self).save(force_insert, force_update)
        self.old_state = self.state
