I want the default modB localField value to be the modA wantedField value corresponding to the foreign key. This would gives :
class modA(models.Model): wantedField = models.CharField(max_length=9) [ ... other fields ...] def asDefault(): return wantedField class modB(models.Model): moda = models.ForeignKey(modA) [ ... other fields ...] localField = models.CharField(max_length=9,default=moda.asDefault) def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if self.pk is None: if self.moda and not self.localField: self.localField = self.moda.wantedField super(modB, self).save(*args, **kwargs) Also, would the approach be the same with any other field type ? Anyway, for the moment it returns: AttributeError: 'ForeignKey' object has no attribute 'asDefault' Thanks for your help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
