(Django) Cannot assign “u'1'”: “StaffProfile.user” must be a “User” instance

Question

I have a model like below:

class StaffProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    maas = models.FloatField()
    maas_gunu = models.CharFie         


        

Answer 1

You need to assign a User object e.g.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)

staffprofile.user = user

Answer 2

user needs to be an instance of the User model, not a unicode object (which is what you are passing it).
