Darn, It's really difficult to reference a child instance to a parent if the parent already exists in database with django :-(
I tried this: 1. user.save() staff = Staff() staff = user staff.save() --> The data is not saved to the DB :-( 2. user.save() staff = Staff.objects.get(id=user.id) staff.save() --> returned object already exist in DB error Aarrrgh. Anybody got another trick for this?
