Re: NOT NULL constraint failed when trying to create form with initial values

That did the trick. There were some minor errors after it, but now there isn't. By the way, I tried this solution before I tried the "initial" solution but it didn't work at that time. Many thanks.

Oh, that's a life saver information. Thanks. I edited my code.

Unfortunately, only thing that has changed is the name of the error which looks like this right now: NOT NULL constraint failed: photo_photo.contest_id

I'm going to take a break and try to solve the problem tomorrow. I appreciate your help.

Alright, for tomorrow then:

I don't usually use "initial" but if you are excluding (or not including) the field in the form, "initial" would not be useful. A workaround would be:

    if form.is_valid():
        photo = form.save(commit=False)
        photo.contest = random_item
        photo.owner = 'SUMMERSON'
        photo.save()

Nice try but I'm still getting this error: 

IntegrityError at /photo/create/

NOT NULL constraint failed: photo_photo.contest_id_id

I tried with both 'contest': random_item  and 'contest_id': random_item.contest_id. (I don't know why you wrote contest instead of contest_id. Field name is contest_id)

That's because what you are passing is empty and the field is required. Are you sure that you have Contest objects?

There is a convention in Django (models and ORM), "object.foreign_key" gives you the object, while "object.foreign_key_id" gives you the id of that object (and is what it is stored in the database). You should name your field only "contest" for avoiding confusions.

Try "contest_id": random_object

    if form.is_valid():
        photo = form.save()  # Instances go in lowercase, otherwise you are doing it to the class
else:
    form = PhotoForm()
