Question

Ok, that question I’m sure was confusing. Imagine we have this models:

class Phone(models.Model):
    serial = models.CharField(max_length=13, unique=True)
    model = models.CharField(max_length=4, choices=MODELOS)

class Contract(models.Model):
    number = models.IntegerField()
    phone = models.OneToOneField(Phone)
    notes = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    sign = models.BooleanField(default=False)

I need to make a form which can have input for all the fields in those models. In one single page I need to specify the phone’s serial and model and the contract’s number, notes and sign. The phone field should be the one created in the same moment. How would I manage to do this?

Thank you!

As ilvar suggests, define two modelforms

class PhoneForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Phone

class ContractForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Contract
        exclude = ('phone',)

def add(request):
   ...
   if request.method == 'POST':
       phone_form = PhoneForm(request.POST)
       contract_form = ContractForm(request.POST)
       if phone_form.is_valid() and contract_form.is_valid():
           phone = phone_form.save()
           contract = contract_form.save(commit=False)
           contract.phone = phone
           contract.save()
   ...

Also, just curious why you use OneToOneField instead of ForeignKey or ManyToManyField, anyway.
