php - Model attributes set in beforeSave() are not being saved -

i trying set model attributes in beforesave() method not saved afterwards.

 public function beforesave(){      if(!$this->isnewrecord){          // ...          $this->status = self::visible;      }                     return parent::beforesave();  } 

i have tried returning true instead of parent::beforesave(). have tried if(parent::beforesave) {} structure.

i have checked model attributes in aftersave , set. don't there can lost afterwards.

any ideas?

basically updating model above..

if(!$this->isnewrecord).

remove conditin while saving status field
