Rails use destroy soft_destroy, how to update deleted_by

Question

Excuse me, I am using soft_destroy to delete my data, and then I want to fix the deleted_by data when I try to delete it. So I used before_destroy in the model to do the processing. But it seems to have no effect. How can I do? Please tell me. thanks

Controller

def destroy
   @project.soft_destroy
   head :no_content
end

Model

before_destroy :deleted_by


private

def deleted_by
  self.deleted_by = 101
end

After these executions, deleted_by does not become 101.

You can do it in controller

 before_action :set_project, only: [:show, :edit, :destroy, :update]
 before_action :deleted_by, only: [:destroy]

private
def set_project
  @project = Project.find(params[:id])
end

def deleted_by
  @project.deleted_by = 101
end
