Change field type checks to work with subclasses.
Review Request #10298 — Created Nov. 1, 2018 and submitted
There's a large number of legacy
if type is ...
checks throughout the
codebase, which limits functionality to those specific field types.
While rare, any subclasses of these field types (such asForeignKey
)
would result in broken or inconsistent behavior.This change updates all these to use
issubclass
orisinstance
instead of direct type checks.
Unit tests pass on all supported versions of Django.
