To save FormSet changes when related models are involved, the following steps can be followed:
- Create a view function that handles the FormSet POST data and saves changes to the related models.
- Instantiate the FormSet in the view function and validate the form data.
- If the form data is valid, iterate over the FormSet instances and save changes to the related models.
- If the related models have foreign keys, add them to the FormSet forms using the
formfield_callback
method. - Use the
commit=False
parameter when saving related model instances to prevent them from being immediately saved to the database. - After saving all related model instances, save the main model instance (if present) and commit all changes to the database using the
commit()
method.
