Save method not working when trying to update multiple models

Using Django Forms & APIs

I’m trying to copy an object and it’s children from. The parent object copies just fine, as does one of the children. The remaining don’t do anything. I don’t get an output in the terminal, and there is no change to the database.

def copy_workorder_item(request, pk, workorder=None):
    #Copy line item to current workorder
    if workorder:
        print(pk)
        obj = WorkorderItem.objects.get(pk=pk)
        obj.pk = None
        obj.save()
        try: 
            objdetail = KruegerJobDetail.objects.get(workorder_item=pk)
            objdetail.pk = None
            objdetail.workorder_item = obj.pk
            objdetail.last_item_order = obj.workorder_hr
            objdetail.last_item_price = objdetail.price_total
            objdetail.save()
        except:
            pass
        try:
            objdetail = OrderOut.objects.get(workorder_item=pk)
            objdetail.pk = None
            objdetail.workorder_item = obj.pk
            objdetail.last_item_order = obj.workorder_hr
            objdetail.last_item_price = objdetail.price_total
            objdetail.save()
        except:
            pass
        try:
            objdetail = SetPrice.objects.get(workorder_item=pk)
            objdetail.pk = None
            objdetail.workorder_item = obj.pk
            #objdetail.last_item_order = obj.workorder_hr
            #objdetail.last_item_price = objdetail.price_total
            objdetail.save()
        except:
            return HttpResponse(status=204, headers={'HX-Trigger': 'itemListChanged'})

The workorder and the KruegerJobDetail both copy as expected. the Orderout and SetPrice go through the try blocks, but they don’t save at the end. Is there a way to get errors from the .save?

You’re swallowing the except clause, so if an error is being thrown, you’re not going to see it.

At a minimum you want to do something like:

except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Or, if you import traceback in the view, you can use traceback.print_exc() to get the complete stackdump.
