Saving Model Before Checking Validity Of Another Formset (for Foreign Key)

For saving foreign keys to the model in the same view you often see: if form1.is_valid(): if form2.is_valid(): form_obj = form.save() form2_obj = form2.save(com

Solution 1:

From the comment by @karthikr i see where i was going wrong. I originally thought you had to validate each form in a formset individually, but formset.is_valid() covers each form so as long as you save the form after all formset checks then it should be okay.

if form1.is_valid():
    if formset.is_valid():
        form1_obj = form1.save()
        for form in formset:
            form_obj = form.save(commit=False)
            form_obj.foreign_key = form1_obj
            form_obj.save()
