Re: Previous Value beforeSave

Don't use read(). From the API:

"Returns a list of fields from the database, and sets the current model data (Model::$data) with the record found."

Not what you want!

Does the model declare a ModifiedValues member variable? If not, this will silently fail because the assigned value will not carry over to other methods.
