Question

I have a model with the following fields:

user = models.ForeignKey(User)
impact = models.IntegerField(default = value)

Where I want value to be User.get_profile().someIntField with User being the same User object that was passed to the first field. How can I do this?

Answer 1

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(YourModel, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.impact = self.user.get_profile().someIntField
