Sails.js/Waterline: is it possible to perform a "silent" update (without affecting updatedAt field)?

Question

So I want to update my model without changing updatedAt field (not by default). Does Waterline have such a feature at this moment?

Answer 1

Short story: this is not yet possible.

As you can see from this code in waterline 0.12.2, the field updatedAt is automatically updated if autoUpdatedAt is set to true.

This leaves you with two possible solutions:

• You can temporarily turn off autoUpdatedAt before your update
• You can use a manual query. See .query for more details
