Question

If I had a One-To-Many relationship in Django, like the Django example at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#fields, A musician can have many albums, unique to that musician.

class Musician(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    instrument = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Album(models.Model):
    artist = models.ForeignKey(Musician)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    release_date = models.DateField()
    num_stars = models.IntegerField()

How would I go about implementing the following:

In Django, have ‘Musicians’ as a section to manage. When you go to manage musicians, you can edit the musician, or you can go on to the albums and manage the albums only for that musician. When you make a new album, the system automatically creates it for the musician you are on.
At the moment, you would have to manage albums individually from a huge list and choose the musician in the edit screen.

This is too complicated for the django admin as is, so either you explore the customization that the docs offers for you or you might consider not using the django admin at all and just write it as a part of your web app.
