For example, I have to basic models: class User(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
class AlterEgo(models.Model): nickname = models.CharField(max_length=30) user = models.ForeignKey(User) I do a lookup for a User named 'Ryan' and one object is found. results = AlterEgo.objects.filter(user__name__exact='Ryan') Why can't I change the User's name like so: results[0].user.name = 'Brian' results[0].user.save() ? I instead have to assign it first: found_user = results[0].user found_user.name = 'Brian' found_user.save() Any help understanding this part of the API is greatly appreciated!
