Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I try to update a foreign key field, I would like it to change the other field, but Postgres refuses to do that, since ON UPDATE CASCADE was not applied.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to control updates, just like deletes. Make it similar to the on_delete param as well for foreign keys.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating foreign-key option handling and schema-generation paths for the supported databases, then compare them with on_delete. Done means an on_update option is consistently represented in generated constraints and covered by backend-specific tests, including PostgreSQL behavior.
