Question

在this article中按照Kevin Dias的说明，我尝试为两个相关模型生成一个表单。这似乎适用于一对多的关系，但是我遇到了使用多对多关系的问题。

以下是用户角色管理的一些示例代码：

#models.py
from django.db import models

class Role(models.Model): # for each role there can be multiple users
    role_name=models.CharField(max_length=20)

class User(models.Model): # each user can have multiple roles
    name=models.CharField(max_length=20)
    role=models.ManyToManyField(Role, through='UserRole')

class UserRole(models.Model): # table to store which user has which roles
    role=models.ForeignKey(Role)
    user=models.ForeignKey(User)

# forms.py
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.forms.models import inlineformset_factory

from rightmanagement.models import Role, User

class UserForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User

RoleFormSet = inlineformset_factory(User, Role) # this is probably the line that causes the problem

# views.py
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from rightmanagement.models import User
from rightmanagement.forms import RoleFormSet, UserForm

# Create view
from django.views.generic import CreateView
class UserCreate(CreateView):
    model = User
    form_class = UserForm

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Handles GET requests and instantiates blank versions of the form
        and its inline formsets.
        """
        self.object = None
        form_class = self.get_form_class()
        form = self.get_form(form_class)
        role_form = RoleFormSet()
        return self.render_to_response(
            self.get_context_data(form=form,
                                  role_form=role_form))

def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        """
        Handles POST requests, instantiating a form instance and its inline
        formsets with the passed POST variables and then checking them for
        validity.
        """
        self.object = None
        form_class = self.get_form_class()
        form = self.get_form(form_class)
        role_form = RoleFormSet(self.request.POST)
        if (form.is_valid() and role_form.is_valid()):
            return self.form_valid(form, role_form)
        else:
            return self.form_invalid(form, role_form)

def form_valid(self, form, role_form):
        """
        Called if all forms are valid. Creates a Recipe instance along with
        associated Ingredients and Instructions and then redirects to a
        success page.
        """
        self.object = form.save()
        role_form.instance = self.object
        role_form.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())

def form_invalid(self, form, role_form):
        """
        Called if a form is invalid. Re-renders the context data with the
        data-filled forms and errors.
        """
        return self.render_to_response(
            self.get_context_data(form=form,
                                  role_form=role_form))

这些设置会导致出现错误消息<class 'rightmanagement.models.Role'> has no ForeignKey to <class 'rightmanagement.models.User'>。

做了一些研究我发现了这个：Django inlineformset_factory and ManyToMany fields。内联表单集似乎仅适用于ForeignKey，但不适用于ManyToManyField。 the docs也可以这样解释。

但是，我认为在特定情况下，外键而不是多对多关系是没有任何意义的。 Django的内置内联formset的挂件如何看起来像是多对多的关系？目标是构建一个表单，允许将用户分配给已存在的角色或创建新角色，如果用户尚不存在则将其分配给用户。

您可能已经意识到，您无法使用内联表单集编辑多对多关系。但是，您可以编辑到模型。因此，对于内联formset，您只需将模型设置为直通模型，如下所示：

RoleFormSet = inlineformset_factory(UserRole, User.role.through)

对于多对多关系的内联表单集
