Disable `create` audits on child record

[geronimogarcialumint]

I've extended audited on my ApplicationRecord model, but I have a couple of classes that I'd like to only do %i[update destroy] audits, instead of the %i[create update destroy] defined over application_record.rb

I've added audited on: %i[update destroy] to the child model. Doing ChildClass.audited_options correctly returns {:on=>[:update, :destroy], :only=>[], :except=>[], :max_audits=>nil}

Issue is that whenever I do ChildClass.create() I get a created audit associated to the record, even if the audited_options for the class doesn't show :create on the :on option.

Not sure if relevant, but also Audited::Audit.audited_classes only returns [ApplicationRecord(abstract)]

If I make ChildClass not inherit from ApplicationRecord, I see it being listed on audited_classes and it works as expected (no audit created on create action)

Am I doing something wrong?

Some more info on this:

• If you remove :create from the activerecord class audited on array, and add it to a child class, that won't create a create audit, so overriding the audited on array alltogether is not working.

I've drafted a workaround around this using a WithoutCreateAudits concern that overrides the after_create method to do nothing, but I'd like a more robust solution.

I've tried calling super conditionally on after_create but that doesn't work (super does nothing), I've also tried to do conditoinal skip_callback but thats not a thing either. I'm leaving this comment in case anyone comes up with a better idea.

As for the gem, I think it'd be nice that it creates audits based on the updated audited_options instead of always following the ActiveRecord defined audits
