I am trying to build a model (in two separate apps) which has the following
constraints:
- There can be many institutes
- there can many users
- each user is a member of exactly one institute
- each institute has exactly one master user
However I am running into CircularDependency errors when trying to create
this model and database. Of course this model is a bit problematic because
you can't have an institute without master user, but also you can't create
a user without some default institute. How do I fix this? Should I be more
lean on the model side and allow for a lot of blanks and null values and
make all the exception handling somewhere else?
Please tell me how to improve my model.
