Lets say I have a model School
and another model Student
.
class Student(models.Model):
school = models.ForeignKey(School)
name =
I did what felix suggested. the only problem is that it gives a error like this:
ValueError: Unsaved model instance cannot be used in an ORM query.
and the reason I found was that you can not change the foreign key in student's object BEFORE saving your current School model. because there is nothing to add to fk attribute yet! so use felix solution but in save_model function use the obj.save() before "for"
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
original_students = obj.student_set.all()
new_students = form.cleaned_data['students']
remove_qs = original_students.exclude(id__in=new_students.values('id'))
add_qs = new_students.exclude(id__in=original_students.values('id'))
obj.save()
for item in remove_qs:
obj.student_set.remove(item)
for item in add_qs:
obj.student_set.add(item)
