Comment (by nemesisdesign):
Hi everybody,
I also think this is an area for improvement in django.
I've posted on django-developers: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic
/django-developers/pQ-8LmFhXFg
I quote the relevant bits:
----
I spent a few hours working on this issue, I consider myself fluent with
django and it's quite shocking I had to put such an amount of effort just
to validate many2many relationships before they are saved to the database.
IMHO it would be better if we could do one of these two (or even both)
things:
1. make this process easier in future django versions
2. document the current best practice to solve this problem in current
django to save people's time
What do people you think?
Here's my solution working with django 1.9:

What do you think of it? Can it be improved in some way?
----
Keep up the good work
Federico Capoano
