Update model props in "deleting" event observer

[alecpl]

• Laravel Version: 5.8.37
• PHP Version: 7.4.3
• Database Driver & Version: sqlite

Description:

This might be not a bug, but a limitation and an expected behavior, but I didn't find it mentioned in docs.

namespace App\Observers;

use App\User;

class UserObserver
{
    public function deleting(User $user)
    {
        $user->status |= User::STATUS_DELETED;
    }
}

The model uses softDeletes, so it may look redundant while there's deleted_at property. However, I have a use case for this and I can imagine a case where I would want to change some other props on delete.

Should the UPDATE query (the one that sets deleted_at) after the event is fired include the status column? Would be nice. Note that I would not expect updating/updated event be invoked in this case.

Edit: Corrected method name in the code above from deleted to deleting.
