If keywords_subscribed is a character field (as it seems), you should store something like [keyword.text for keyword in self.cleaned_data['keywords']] in the field, not the model list directly. Another option is to store the keywords in a ManyToManyField. In any case, the problem seems to be the mismatch of saving models instances into a field that doesn't expect model instances. - Anssi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
