Question

I have the following class in my models.py

class Story(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=60)
    creator = models.ManyToManyField(User, blank=True)

I am trying to return a QuerySet using 2 creator names.

For example, how would I filter for stories that have creators: User 1 obj and User 2 obj?

I have read the Many-to-Many relationships docs and could not find anything. The closest solution I have reached was…

Story.objects.filter(creator__in=[1,2]).distinct() 

but it doesn’t do a joint query for both 1 AND 2, just 1 OR 2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You’re going to need to us a Q object. I’d try something like this:

from django.db.models import Q

Story.objects.filter(Q(creator=1) | Q(creator=2))
