Hi Guys, I have a m2m relationship (Question - Category) validation issue that I have solved but I am not sure if there is a better way or if I am missing some info from the docs. I have a form that posts a question that has a multi select with existing categories. When I come to save the question in QuestionSerializer my validate_category in CategorySerializer which checks to make sure that the category does not already exist is raising the exception because it does already exist. Which is good when I am actually creating categories in the database, not using an existing one when posting a question. My solution is to just perform the validation in the actual create method instead of the validate_category in CategorySerializer so that I can save a question with existing categories and still check that the category is unique when actually creating a new one?
