skipAttributes on SELECT (Phalcon 2.x)

Is there such a thing as skipAttributes on the SELECT (not just insert/update)

All my models extend a BaseModel which have some basic fields like id, createDate, editDate, active.

Some of my tables do NOT have all these fields. During insert/update, the skipAttributes() are working fine but it blow up during any type of fetch. I was thinking of doing something like beforeSelect() something like that to hook into to maybe even do something like

unset($this->createDate);

Not really familiar with the Zephir code to look deeper

The obvious solution (not preferred) would be to create 2 abstract classes instead of one and do one more extend

Thanks, Chris

Are you using independent column mapping? https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/models.html#independent-column-mapping

If you map the columns for each model, you shouldn't have any issues.

Thanks! I am using some Annotation stuff (includes mapping the column fields) but manipulating the columnMap is the right way to go. I ended up creating an annotation @Skip and have the field not added to the columnMap -- this is a hack that I need to remove

The nice thing about the dev tools is that you can get it to map everything for you. The only complaint I have with devtools though is that all-models doesn't have "mapcolumn" or "trace" as possible parameters.
