I’m not able to wrap my head around your specific application, but if you don’t want to use a ForeignKey on a formset, don’t use an InlineFormset. Just use a regular BaseFormset. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/forms/formsets/
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Layne Sadler Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 4:04 PM To: Django users Subject: Inlineformset without foreign key possible? I'm trying to implement an inline formset for two models in a graph database. The problem that I'm running into is that formsets are designed with foreign keys in mind. I'm relating a model to itself through another model. For simplicity sake, let's call them a Person model and a FriendRel model: Person -[FRIENDS_WITH]-> Person FriendRelFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Person, FriendRel, form=FriendRelForm, extra=1) I've tried setting the fk_name=None argument, but I am still met with the following error: ValueError: 'django_rel.RelationshipMeta' has no ForeignKey to 'django_node.NodeMeta'. So now I am looking into the documentation below, but it is a bit abstract for my skillset. Am I banging my head against the wall with this, or is it possible to avoid the whole foreign key thing?
