I think I might have found an issue related to https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14849. The last comment says to please email the django-dev group if there are any questions about the ticket, so here I am. I've done my best to provide a complete test case.
I have an Event model with property 'times', which is a ManyToManyField to an EventTime model. https://gist.github.com/c7d8319df96f5eb22cf3 I am processing data from a POST request with a ModelForm on Event, with a custom field and widget: https://gist.github.com/653adb9b0ecbcc823339 The widget takes a few POST fields and generates a set of date ranges as a list of tuples [(<start>, <end>), (<start>, <end>)...]. The to_python() method of the custom field takes the date ranges and returns a list of EventTime objects. When I try to .save_m2m() the form (test case here: https://gist.github.com/6da4f69ade9bc7dc5b3c) I get... ValueError: Cannot add "<EventTime: EventTime object>": instance is on database "default", value is on database "None" This looks it might be an issue with the new multi-database stuff. I could also be misunderstanding something, but after scouring the documentation for several hours I don't see anything implying that this wouldn't work. I suspect the unusual thing I'm doing is creating instances of a Django model within my field's to_python() method. Most of the existing fields use to_python() to cast to datetime or Decimal. Is it not possible to convert value(s) into instances of Django models?
