Distinguish between setData() called from code or after user edit

[Mark81]

I'm pretty sure it's written in the documentation but I cannot find anything perhaps because I'm using the wrong search words.
I'm looking for a way to distinguish if a call to setData() for a QAbstractTableModel comes from a line of my code or when the user edited the table.

Hi @Mark81,

I don't know about this feature. But I guess you can use another role than Qt::EditRole when calling setData().

Hi,

Why do you need to know the difference ?

[Mark81]

@SGaist Because I need to automate some stuff only if was the user that changed the data. Otherwise it will be triggered even when I load the data into the model. Anyway the solution proposed by @Gojir4 did the trick.
