Hi,
I have the following scenario.
I am creating a custom admin page for one of the models. I am
adding few extra fields. If the extra fields are set, then the user
does not need to set the model fields. An example is given below:
Model A:
val1 models.ForeignKey(A1)
val2 models.ForeignKey(A2)
val3 models.CharField()
Form F:
val_x_1 forms.CharField()
Now, on the add/change page for Model A, I am giving an option. It
would look like the following:
Add A:
------------------
val_x_1: [________]
val2: [________]
--------------------------------------------
OR
--------------------------------------------
val1: [________]
val2: [________]
val3: [________]
[Save] [Save and Add Another]
The user can either type in val1, val2 and val3 or he can put in
values in val_x_1 and val2 only, and my custom add_view should take
care of everything.
Now, the whole page is working fine. But, I am unable to update
request.POST to set up values for val1, val2 and val3 based on the
values val_x_1 and val2. I created a mutable copy and tried putting
that copy back to request.POST, but everytime I am getting the 'cant
adapt' error. The backend is PostgreSQL.
If I dont update request.POST, the form.validate would fail inside the
proper add_view. I cannot make it as blank=True straightaway because
if the val_x_1 and val2 is not updated by the user, he needs to update
mandatorily val1, val2 and val3.
Can anyone help me on this?
