Have you tried adding this __setattr__ magic style into the serializer itself? The issue boils down to trying to recursively remap the attributes we've added to our serialization subclass.

[EdVraz]

I don't quite understand how you mean that

[FayeDel]

I believe they were asking if you've tried implementing this:

    def __setattr__(self, key, value) -> None:
        super().__setattr__(key, value)
        if key != "_json" and (key not in self._json or value != self._json.get(key)):
            if value is not None and value is not MISSING:
                self._json.update({key: value})

            elif value is None and key in self._json.keys():
                del self._json[key]

within the serialiser mixin itself and not just the objects in question

[EdVraz]

I didn't do that, I also don't see where it would be useful since it is only called once and the other __setattr__ methods are updating the json correctly, so how would it help having it in the mixin?
