Story

Stopped working when the many to many field was added to the model. Looks like the form is no longer form.is_valid() as this is where it stops for form2 which is where the many to many is. As it is in an if statement it now just skips over the form saving as form is not valid

There is some discussion that if commit = false then a save_m2m is required, but I haven't got this working yet.

<ul class="errorlist"><li>Enter a list of values.</li></ul>

Is the error that I think needs to be solved as this is what the form is outputting instead of the skilled value

[RachWalm]

got a list of values into this above error which still allowed me to select multiple values on the screen, this was done by going back to the models and creating:

def SavedList(): skill_queryset = SkillChoices.objects.filter().values() skill_list = set(skill_queryset.values_list()) return skill_list

this skill_list could then be put into choices which didn't work with SKILL_CHOICES list to remain as a multiple select option.

However this many to many still isn't actually saving any data and it looks like the HTML output thinks that only one option is saving.

It has been suggested that I try using set() functionality, but I haven't got this working yet.

Deleted all of the 'fixes' and typed it out again and it is working. Suspect a typo or spelling mistake.
