I just found out on Django document, there's an example that's for manytomany, using 'through' when defining the foreign key. I think this is what i need.
Here's the example: from django.db import models class Person(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=128) def __str__(self): # __unicode__ on Python 2 return self.name class Group(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=128) members = models.ManyToManyField(Person, through='Membership') def __str__(self): # __unicode__ on Python 2 return self.name class Membership(models.Model): person = models.ForeignKey(Person, on_delete=models.CASCADE) group = models.ForeignKey(Group, on_delete=models.CASCADE) date_joined = models.DateField() invite_reason = models.CharField(max_length=64) On Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 2:49:40 PM UTC-7, Kevin Yu wrote: > > I'm working with a legacy database so I have to set managed=False in the > model.
