James,
I was able to get thro with the save operation. It was quite a bit of
learning.
Meta section on the model existed but I was not populating validated_data
properly. I was under the assumption that
when I did
serializer=UserPrefSerializer(data=request.data)
seriazer object will be populated with post request data.
I had to resort to
address_obj=Stock.objects.get(symbol=request.data['address'])
user_obj=User.objects.get(username=request.user)
serializer.validated_data['stock_id']=address_obj.id
serializer.validated_data['user_id']=user_obj.id
I am not sure if this is the optimal way to do it but this seem to have
done the trick.
Heartfelt thanks for handholding me through this.
