add() for ManyToManyField which specifies an intermediary model

Question

There are many questions about this Exception:

AttributeError: Cannot set values on a ManyToManyField which specifies 
an intermediary model.
Use myapp.MyThr         


        

Answer 1

I found a way to tell django to ignore the extra data:

class MyThroughModel(Model):
    class Meta():
        auto_created=True
    ...

Update

This creates issues with the django internal migrations. We updated our code and don't use auto_created = True any more.
