Hello, I have a situation where I would like to do some validation on a many- to-many field in a model before it is saved. When the validation fails the model should not be saved and result in an appropriate error. However to be able to do anything with a many-to-many field the primary key of the model should be available, therefore it seems that the model should be saved first.
In Forms there is the option to save with commit=False, but I could not find anything similar to this for the Models save function. Also, using a pre-save signal would not work, because the model is not saved yet. A post-save signal doesn't work either because then the model gets saved even in the cases that it shouldn't. Rewriting the save function would be the best option, but because I cannot 'pre'- save with commit=False this doesn't work either. Could anyone tell me if there is such a function to achieve what I need or if there is a better way of doing this? Thanks very much!
