Suppose there are two (or more) django administrators who have read a database record and then change and save it. There is no database problem, but some administrators are going to be surprised that the record they wrote was overwritten.
Is this issue ever addressed? One way would be to have an explicit "edit in progress" button which sets a flag in the record. If another administrator reads the same record and then clicks his "edit in progress" he will be warned that there is a previous edit in progress. Or a field could be added to the record which is incremented when a record is saved. If the field is different from when the record was read, the administrator is warned that the record has been changed by someone else since he read it.
Is there a native django way of handling this?
