Saving Many To Many data via a modelform in Django

Question

I have a problem saving many to many fields from a form. Here are my models:

class TextIssue(models.Model):
    Issue = models.CharField(max_length=150, uniq         


        

Answer 1

You can do like this for example:

  if todo_list_form.is_valid():
                todo_list = todo_list_form.save(commit=False)
                todo_list.save()
                todo_list_form.save_m2m()

Answer 2

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/modelforms/#the-save-method

When using commit=False, you have to call save_m2m()

m2m relationships require the parent object to be saved first, which you are not doing by using commit=False
