Unable to save m2m field in Inline Formset with many to many relation in django CreateView

Hello everyone,

I am unable to make it worked. I have two models "Course" and "Outcome". I want to make OutcomeForm form as inline form in CourseForm.

My models.py file looks as below:

class Outcome(models.Model):  # some fields  course_outcome = models.ForeignKey(      "course.Course", on_delete=models.SET_NULL, blank=True, null=True  )    class Course(models.Model):  # some fields  course_outcome = models.ManyToManyField(      Outcome, verbose_name=COURSE_SINGULAR + " outcome", blank=True  )

And inline formset is created as:

OutcomeFormSet = inlineformset_factory(      parent_model=Course,      model=Outcome,      form=OutcomeForm,      extra=1,      can_delete=True,  )

And views.py file is:

class CourseCreateForm(CreateView):
    model = Course
    template_name = "course/course_form.html"
    form_class = CourseForm
    success_url = reverse_lazy("course")

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(CourseCreateForm, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        if self.request.POST:
            context["outcomes"] = OutcomeFormSet(self.request.POST)
        else:
            context["outcomes"] = OutcomeFormSet()
        return context

    def form_valid(self, form, **kwargs):
        super(CourseCreateForm, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context = self.get_context_data()   
        outcomes = context["outcomes"]
        with transaction.atomic():
            if outcomes.is_valid():
                self.object = form.save()
                outcomes.instance = self.object
                outcomes.save()
                form.instance.course_outcome.set(
                    Outcome.objects.filter(course_outcome=self.object)
                )
                form.save()
        return super().form_valid(form)

The problem is:

All data of model Outcome and Course is saved except m2m field of Course model.

I am stuck at this point. Any pointer in right direction will be highly useful.

Thanks in advance,
