Hello,
I try to build a kind of call tracker app. The call intaker creates a
new item (main model) and makes some notes (subject, issue and which
printer nr, customer, technician,... all with modelfields) all in one
view. But I am struggling with the model relations and the form
saving. I cannot save anything to the db, thats because one related
object isnt already saved to the db.
I think the problem is the m2m relation between Servicetechnician and
Customer. Can someone please point me to the right direction?
Thank you.
