Hi, I don't know if this is a bug or expected behavior, but when I'm trying to create a new generic relation object from a GenericInlineModelAdmin form, the object's validation methods (eg. clean or validate_unique) don't have object_id and content_type fields set.
When the generic relation object, already exists object_id and content_type are properly set. Here is the sample code: models.py: class Article(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=32) body = models.TextField() class TaggedItem(models.Model): tag = models.SlugField() content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField() content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id') def clean(self, exclude=None): pass admin.py: class InlineTags(generic.GenericTabularInline): model = TaggedItem class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): inlines = [InlineTags] admin.site.register(Article, ArticleAdmin) Now if you go to Articles admin and add a tag, in the clean method of TaggedItem self.object_id and self.content_type are set to None. If the tag is being edited they are set accordingly. I tried on both django 1.4.x and 1.5.x. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
