i'm bit confused here, shouldn't ovverride delete() instead of save() ?
and how to retrieve selected items ?

Not really. You don't want to delete anything. You want to break a link. Making the foreign key field null will do that.

It sounds like you might want a many to many relationship between A and AB and another one between B and AB.

In that case, you actually delete the link record not the A nor the AB record.

That makes AB.A_id and AB.B_id redundant. The only fields you need in AB are field_1 and field_2.

So create a table A_AB and another one B_AB. A_AB needs a foreign key to A and also a foreign key to AB. In addition, A needs a ManyToManyField pointing to AB (or AB needs one to A) using the "through" table A_AB. Do likewise between B and AB.

    I Have a model AB that holds two foreign keys A_id and B_id.

    |class  AB(models.Model):
         A_id=  models.ForeignKey('A')
         B_id=  models.ForeignKey('B')
         field_1=  models.CharField(max_length=200,  blank=True)
         field_2=  models.CharField(max_length=200,  blank=True)|


    When editing A or B, AB items are edited inlines, what I want to
    achieve is that when editing let's say B I want to keep the selected
    AB items and set the foreign key B_id to null instead of deleting them.

    thanks for any hint
