18 May 2014

In Flask-Admin, you can override the “on_model_change” function to to automatically populate a “modified_by” field in your model.

class LocationView(ModelView):
    def on_model_change(self, form, model):
        model.user_id = g.user.id

admin = Admin(app)
admin.add_view(LocationView(Location, db.session, name="Locations"))
