Gorm Is it possible to exclude unmodified fields from the update statement automatically?

Hello.

I want to exclude unmodified fields from the update statement for the "struct" as a result of the "save". For example

db.First(&user)
user.Name = "jinzhu 2"
user.Age = 100
db.Save(&user)

I want to achieve:

// UPDATE users SET name='jinzhu 2', age=100 WHERE id=111;

instead of

// UPDATE users SET name='jinzhu 2', age=100, birthday='2016-01-01', updated_at = '2013-11-17 21:34:10' WHERE id=111;

I try to get behavior similar to DynamicUpdate annotation in Hibernate. Is it possible, or should I write a plugin for it?

For that reason, Use this way instead

    // update one column
    db.Table("users").Where("id = ?", 1).Update("age", 18)

    // update multiple columns (use maps instead of structs)
    data := map[string]any{
        "name":     "amir",
        "age": 20,
    }
    db.Table("users").Where("id = ?", 1).Updates(data)
