Reference Field - Failed to save after instance created about fireo HOT 5 CLOSED

Because you are doing it wrong. collection.save() method is supposed to use internally there is no save() method for public use. There is save method in instance level. There is collection.create() if you want to use.

Check documentation for Adding data

Hi @AxeemHaider ,
sorry, I have did typo and fix it above.
so on add new , I did use create method not save.

current issue tested with fireo==1.3.8

Why you want to save after creating document you don't need to save it.

The reason why it is not saving is as mention in error message itself.
ReferenceTypeError: Invalid reference type. Field "user" required value type "User", but got "ReferenceDocLoader

Because you set auto_load=False that's why when you try to save it error come up invalid type because it require User type. set auto_load=True so it load the User document or load it before saving it.

activity = UserActivity.collection.create(user=user)
activity.user = activity.user.get()
activity.save()

About the creating document and save it, this is just sample to reproduce the issue.

class ReferenceTestModel):
    Ref1 = ReferenceField(Amodel, auto_load=False)
    Ref2= ReferenceField(XModel, auto_load=False)
    Ref3= ReferenceField(YModel, auto_load=False)
    text = TextField(required=True)

hmm so, if I have above model instance and want to change only one field: text.
Did you mean, need to load all available reference fields for save method to work ?

You have to use update() method. Check Documentation for Update
