Skip approval when creating the model [question]

[mlab817]

I've tried to google this but can't find the answer anywhere. Basically, I want to skip approval process when the user is just creating a model. The package provides a function:

public function requiresApprovalWhen($modifications): bool
{
    // logic for requiring approval or not
    // ideally, i will return false here if the model is just being created
}

Upon checking the $modifications variable however, it only contains the incoming values. Thus, I can't check if the action is to create a new model or not.

How do I go about this?

I think you could instantiate your model class and fill it with your data then use the setForcedApprovalUpdate method on it before saving.
