Well. What you are trying to do is a bit awkward, but i will try my best to
answer.
The variable for foreign key is supposed to be declared under Student model
because parents can typically have more than one kid in a school isnt it?
You should try and understand relational database.
Now this is how i will write the code
class Parent(models.Model):
.......
class Student(models.Model):
parent = models.ForeignKey(Parent)
Now if you want to save with a form. Remember that when you render a form field
which contains some kind of relationship, it appears as a drop-down list in
your webpage. What i suggest is to do the saving in your views.py instead of
rendering the relational form field.
So u can do it Like this
def Function(request):
Obj = Parents.object.get(name='David')
StudentObj= MyForm({'parent' : Obj})
StudentObj.save()
Remember the function above is just an assumed prototype of how your function
should be and not the actual code.
