Type Error : 'ExtendedTag' instance expected, got <BasicTag: Hello>
I had created m2m field (required false). When I tried to save form with
parent select (from multiple choice field), It rises type error. When I
tried to save it without selecting parent and category, it work fine. I
couldn't able to figure out what I am missing.
Code Snipped (full available at https://github.com/Pattinson/m2mdemo)
models.py
class BasicTag(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=150, verbose_name="Tag Name")
image_class = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
color = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class ExtendedTag(models.Model):
parent = models.ManyToManyField(BasicTag, blank=True,
related_name="parent")
category = models.ManyToManyField(BasicTag, blank=True,
related_name="category")
def __unicode__(self):
return self._id
class CombineTag(BasicTag, ExtendedTag):
"""
"""
forms.py
class CombineTagForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = CombineTag
I had follow official doc
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#the-save-method>
which
say that
If your model has a many-to-many relation and you specify commit=False when
you save a form, Django cannot immediately save the form data for the
many-to-many relation. This is because it isn’t possible to save
many-to-many data for an instance until the instance exists in the database.
