How do I accomplish this?
Sounds like you want to use the "through" property of a ManyToMany field¹, something like class Player(models.Model): # ... class Game(models.Model): # ... players = models.ManyToMany(Player, through="PlayerGame") class PlayerGame(models.Model): player = models.ForeignKey(Player) game = models.ForeignKey(Game, blank=True, null=True) # possible other attributes of a PlayerGame -tkc ¹ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.ManyToManyField.through . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
