This piece of code in changing_attributes check does not make sense to me right now:

if Keyword.has_key?(opts, :from) && changeset.action_type == :create do
  if opts[:from] == nil do
    {:halt, false}
  else
    {:cont, expr}
  end
else

It says that from: nil is bad but from: :whatever is good.

First, I assume that the branches were supposed to be reversed - if from: nil then it matches create otherwise not.

Second, but that supposed reversal is also bad as it does not take into account attribute's default value (so it is questionable that the change is from nil) and also ignores potential presence of to option.

So instead just do return false for create changeset if from option is present.
