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

If the intention is to have students exist independently from a class, and then be able to add or remove them from a class, then this sets up a different relationship:

• Many students can be a part of one class.
• One student can be a part of many classes

In reality this is describing a Many-To-Many relationship. Simply exchanging

class Student(models.Model):
    class = models.ForeignKey(Class) ...

for

class Student(models.Model):
    class = models.ManyToManyField(Class)... 

will give the desired effect in Django admin immediately
