[I see this is the wrong forum, sorry - moved to [ember.js - Update Objects and reset the isDirty-flag (ember-data 1.0 beta.2) - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18691337/update-objects-and-reset-the-isdirty-flag-ember-data-1-0-beta-2) ]
With former versions of ember-data I could bring a modified model back to clear-state by calling:
user.transitionTo(‘loaded.saved’)
Is there a way to do this in version 1.0beta.2? The main reason is to suppress any server requests when saying
user.save()

What about `user.rollback()`?
Taking the look [at the source code](https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/packages/ember-data/lib/system/model/states.js#L251-253) it does exactly what you try to achieve.

@balint: thanks for the hint - u.rollback() actually reverts the changes too, but clearing the \_attributes before transition
```
u.get('isDirty') => true
u._attributes = {}
u.transitionTo('loaded.saved')
u.get('isDirty') => false
```
seems to work pretty well.

So do I understand correctly that `rollback()` does not cut it for you because it also clears out the `_attributes` hash?

Not exactly - I’ll give an example of what I meant. But while I typed it I found out that this not a good solution, because by clearing out the \_attributes, the object loses its ability to become dirty again permanently (ember-data 1.0 beta2).
```
setup:
u = App.store.all('user').objectAt(1)
u.get('isOnline') => false
u.get('isDirty') => false
u.set('isOnline', true)
u.get('isDirty') => true
u._attributes => Object {isOnline: true}
a) with rollback:
u.rollback()
u.get('isDirty') => false
u.get('isOnline') => false
b) with clear _attributes & transition:
u._attributes = {}
u.transitionTo('loaded.saved')
u.get('isDirty') => false
u.get('isOnline') => true
```

ahh, this url [Ember Data 1.0.0 Beta 2 Released](http://emberjs.com/blog/2013/09/04/ember-data-1-0-beta-2-released.html) has a solution:
```
"Add store.update(type, hash) to update some, but not all attributes"
```
That’s not really an answer to my former question - but it is exactly what I want.
