Does the updateAll() method automatically run in Yii2 under certain conditions or operations?

Answer from AI

In Yii2, the updateAll() method does not run automatically. It is a static method of the ActiveRecord class that must be explicitly called for bulk updating records in the database.

For example:

// Update the 'status' field for all records where 'type' = 1
User::updateAll(['status' => 1], ['type' => 1]);

The method is not linked to model events and is not called when individual objects are saved. It directly constructs and executes an SQL update query.
