FuelPHP - pre_save() on model not working

Question

Does anyone knows how to get pre_save() or pre_validate() to work in my model? I have the code below in the model, but it is never called.

protected function pre_validate($data)
{
    //die("asefeg");
    $data->idRegistrant = Session::get('idRegistrant', null);
    return $data;
}

The ORM does not have a pre_save() method like the CRUD model does. For this functionality you want to look into implementing an observer. Plenty of info can be found about this in the fuelphp docs
