It is currently impossible to add or create related item to a many-to-many
relationship with custom intermediary model, with reason, as the custom
model extra fields won't be populated.
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.8.5/docs/topics/db/models.txt#L508
This is documented and explained].
However, it is also not possible to remove related items from the
collection, and the only reason given in the doc is : ''"The remove()
method is disabled for similar reasons"''.
I've try to find a justification for this though the code/docs/history but
I couldn't and this seems unjustified for me.
All the informations needed to remove the relation are provided if you
just use this method e.g.
`mysourceobject.relatedobjects.remove(targetobject)`.
I don't see why
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.8.5/django/db/models/fields/related.py#L982
it is disabled], and therefore would like to ask for a design change here,
or an explanation.
