ember data: Manually send model to updated state

I have a ember-data model (parent) that has several embedded models as properties. When I update the embedded models hasMany array the parent does not go to updated/dirty state. How can I manually send the parent to a dirty state?

I have tried the following without luck:

parent.set('isDirty', true);
parent.get('stateManager').goToState('dirty')
parent.get('stateManager').goToState('updated.uncommitted')

If you're using Ember data (v1.0.0 > x).

parent.get('stateManager').goToState('updated')

Isn't working anymore. Now you should use:

parent.transitionTo('updated');

These is the hierarchy of valid states that ship with ember data:

* root
  * deleted
    * saved
    * uncommitted
    * inFlight
  * empty
  * loaded
    * created
      * uncommitted
      * inFlight
    * saved
    * updated
      * uncommitted
      * inFlight
  * loading

Finally found the solution my self:

parent.get('stateManager').goToState('updated')

I should also mention that when adding a belongsTo association to the child the parent will be dirtied if the hasMany association is changed. But I still need the manual dirting for the case that a normal property of the child changes.
