Combining $userModel->save() with Transactions

Hi,

I have a pretty complex form that requires multiple table rows to be either inserted, updated or a combination of the two.

I was wondering if it is at all possible to use the $userModel->save() in conjunction with tranaction as this would be a very convenient way of updating my table without the need for a complex rollback function, something like? 

PHP Code:

protected $table      = 'mytable';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';

protected $returnType = 'array';
    
protected $allowedFields = [
    'column1', 'column2', 'column3', 'column4', 'column5'
];    
    
public function addEditVals($vals) {
    $db = db_connect();        
    $this->db->transStart();
    foreach($vals as $valArray) {
        $this->save($valArray);
    }
    $this->db->transComplete();
    if ($this->db->transStatus() === FALSE) {
        log_message('notice', '[ERROR] {file}-{line}, Failed to Add/Edit Table - '.session('user_name'));
        return false;
    }else{
        log_message('notice', '[SUCCESS] {file}-{line}, Table Added/Updated  - '.session('user_name'));
        return true;
    }
} 


Thanks in advance
