For those of you that are having the same issue with saving related
data in a model form here is how I solved it.
The issue is that I needed to save my form and then point to the saved
record in the related record before committing the related record.
I'm surprised django doesn't handle this automatically and know that
the related field is not a field, but a relation. It's defined as such
in the model.
The only case I could understand is if I tried to save the related
form before the base. Maybe I am doing it wrong? Anyone have any
thoughts?
if shirtForm.is_valid() and userForm.is_valid():
temp=shirtForm.save()
temp2=userForm.save(commit=False)
temp2.shirt=temp
shirtForm.save()
temp2.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/shirt/') # Redirect after
POST
