one-to-many inline select with django admin

Question

I have a standard many-to-one relationship set up. There are a bunch of fields, but for our purposes here, the relevant model is:

class Class(models.Model):
         


        

Answer 1

Probably, this will help: I used the described approach, but changed methods save and save_m2m in the following way:

from django import forms
from django.db import models
from django.contrib import admin

class Foo(models.Model):
     pass

class Bar(models.Model):
     foo = models.ForeignKey(Foo)

class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Foo

    bars = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(queryset=Bar.objects.all())

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(FooForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        if self.instance:
            self.fields['bars'].initial = self.instance.bar_set.all()

    def save_m2m(self):
        pass

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.fields['bars'].initial.update(foo=None)
        foo_instance = Foo()
        foo_instance.pk = self.instance.pk
        # Copy all other fields.
        # ... #
        foo_instance.save()
        self.cleaned_data['bars'].update(foo=instance)
        return instance

class FooAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = FooForm
