Open ERP 7 - What function is called to update a record. Need to inherit this

Question

It was said that in OpenERP the functions def create(self, cr, user, vals, context=None) and def update(self, cr, user, vals, context=None) exist within the orm.Model that are called if you save a new record or if you update one. I need to inherit those functions to prevent ERP from saving or updating any records if certain typed-in data have the wrong format. I found the create function and was able to inherit and my implementation for this what I wanted works fine with that. However, I wasn't able to find the function that is called when I want to update a record. It is definitely not "update" I'm using OpenERP 7. What function is called for updating a record? Please can anybody help

That's what I tried now, but it is not called:

def write(self, cr, user, ids, vals, context=None):
    tasks2 = vals['task_ids']
    obj_task = self.pool.get('project.task')
    date = datetime.datetime.now()
    valid = False
    if not tasks:
        valid = False
    else:
        for t in tasks:
            task_vals = t[2]
            if not task_vals['date_deadline'] and vals['type'] == 'lead':
                raise osv.except_osv(_('Error!'),_('You cannot have a task without a valid date.'))
            elif datetime.datetime.strptime(task_vals['date_deadline'], '%Y-%m-%d') >= date:
                valid = True
    if not valid and vals['type'] == 'lead':
        raise osv.except_osv(_('Error!'),_('You cannot create/edit a lead without any non-expired action.'))
    else:
        valid = True
    if valid:
        return super(crm_lead_inherit, self).write(self, cr,uid,vals,context=context)

The function is called Write.

i give you an easy example:

def write(self, cr, uid, ids, values, context=None):

    values['a_field'] = 'Hello';

    rs = super(Class, self).write(cr, uid, ids, values, context=context)

    return rs

Values is the dict that you should edit and return edited since it containts the values that are updating, with that, every time you run the write function you will put hello to the field called 'a_field'
