n = Company(name=my_name, country=my_country, isin=my_isin) n.save() n.indices.add(my_indices) See here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#saving-foreignkey-and-manytomanyfield-fields Bye 2011/10/27 Jaroslav Dobrek <jaroslav.dob...@gmail.com>: > Hello, > > how can I create an object instance with a ManyToManyField.
