Hopefully this will make sense. You are on a page displaying information about a Person. You want to add a log to this person so you fill in the form at the bottom of the page. When that form is saved to a log object both the user that has submitted the log, and the person to whom the log belongs get saved.
That is what I am trying to do. My log class: class Log(models.Model): person = models.ForeignKey(Person) user = models.ForeignKey(User, verbose_name="team member") contact_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) contact_detail = models.TextField() modification_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) My log_update view: @login_required @transaction.commit_on_success def update_log(request): form = LogForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): f = form.save(commit=False) f.user = request.user f.person = request.person f.save() response_dict = {} response_dict.update({'success': True}) return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_dict), mimetype="application/json") else: return HttpResponse(json.dumps(form.errors), mimetype="application/json") The only form visible on my Person page is contact_detail. I need both the user.id and person.id to be saved with my form. So I've tried using commit=False to fill in the missing fields that would prevent the save from occurring (required fields) but I keep getting 500 server errors because of the missing fields. Can anyone help please? Thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
