Re: Same form saving to related models

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.

Hi guys,

I need a means to save these 2 models related by FK but I want to use one form. I searched but I jus can't do it.

class Student(models.Model):

.......

class Parent(models.Model):

........

child = models.ForeignKey(Student)

All I need is a form I can use to every student and their parent simultaneously.

Am I doing this wrong? If so kindly correct me.

Thanks
