SalesforceQuerySet update is failing

I’m trying to use the SalesforceQueryset.update method to set a Picklist value and I’m getting a TypeError, stating that what should be a str is in fact a Query…

  ...
  account_queryset.update(status=new_status)
  ...

TypeError at /bulk/
must be str, not Query
Request Method: | POST

these are the variables values when invoking salesforce.backend.query.CursorWrapper.execute_update

headers | {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
pk | <django.db.models.sql.query.Query object at 0x7f10347774a8>
post_data | {'Status__c': 'NEW_STATUS'}
query | <django.db.models.sql.subqueries.UpdateQuery object at 0x7f103a63da20>
self | <salesforce.backend.query.CursorWrapper object at 0x7f1034777128>
table | 'Account'

and this is what gets through to the rest_api_url method itself

args | ('Account', <django.db.models.sql.query.Query object at 0x7f10347774a8>)
service | 'sobjects'
sf_session | <requests.sessions.Session object at 0x7f1034844d30>

I should note, that you don’t need the filter condition is_deleted=False with a normal query set. The “trash bin” can be searched only after query_all() method.

@hynekcer just to be completely clear: my custom managers on SalesforceModel models are actually subclasses of SalesforceManager.

this is my actual code there:

from salesforce.backend.manager import SalesforceManager


DefaultManager = SalesforceManager


class UniversityManager(DefaultManager):

    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(UniversityManager, self).get_queryset().filter(
            is_deleted=False,
            record_type__developer_name='Hochschule')


class StudentManager(DefaultManager):

    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(StudentManager, self).get_queryset().filter(
            is_deleted=False,
            record_type__developer_name='Sofortzahler')

and then on the objects (e.g: Account)

from salesforce import models
from . import managers
...
class Account(models.Model):
    record_type = models.ForeignKey(
        RecordType,
        models.DO_NOTHING,
        blank=True,
        null=True,
        limit_choices_to={'sobject_type': 'Account'})
    ...
    objects = managers.DefaultManager()
    universities = managers.UniversityManager()
    students = managers.StudentManager()
