To call the model clean method we will override save method. Check the link: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.clean
class CommonMeasurement(models.Model):
timestamp = models.DateTimeField()
value = models.FloatField()
run = models.ForeignKey(Run)
def clean(self):
if self.timestamp < self.run.timestamp_start or self.timestamp > self.run.timestamp_end:
raise django_excetions.ValidationError('Measurement is outside the run')
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.full_clean()
return super(CommonMeasurement, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
