Apparently, Django ModelAdmin / ModelForm does not allow save_m2m () if there is a staging table for ManyToManyField.
models.py:
from django.db import models
def make_uuid():
import uuid
return uuid.uuid4().hex
class MyModel(models.Model):
id = models.CharField(default=make_uuid, max_length=32, primary_key=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=32)
many = models.ManyToManyField("RelatedModel", through="RelatedToMyModel")
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.id:
self.id = make_uuid()
super(GuidPk, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
class RelatedModel(models.Model):
field = models.CharField(max_length=32)
class RelatedToMyModel(models.Model):
my_model = models.ForeignKey(MyModel)
related_model = models.ForeignKey(RelatedModel)
additional_field = models.CharField(max_length=32)
admin.py:
from django import forms
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import MyModel
class RelatedToMyModelInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = MyModel.many.through
class MyModelAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
form = MyModelAdminForm
inlines = (RelatedToMyModelInline, )
admin.site.register(MyModel, MyModelAdmin)
If I save MyModel first and then add a new inline string linked through the model, it will work fine, but if I try to set the inline line and also add data for the new MyModel, I get a Django admin error "Please correct the error below." nothing is highlighted below.
