[Question] Is is it possible to create a form that automatically creates a Django Model instance? #235

The form building part of this app looks great. But my user wants to create a model instance with the form data.

Let's say the model instance is a Book and it has Chapters and it is part of a Library.

I would like the user to be able to create a Book with Chapters with a self-generated form (there are more fields on the Book, but we want to show only some), but only within the Library that they belong to (where Library is a ForeignKey on Book). Is this possible?

Of course this user can now also create Books in the Library already, but this user wants to create a BookForm that is accessible publicily, so anonymous users can create a Book by a Book Intake Form with just a few Chapters in it in their library with a hidden form.

Or maybe: is it possible to do a POST with contenttype JSON to an API endpoint with authentication after submitting the form?

Any help is appreciated.

Everything is possible. What you describe looks like some custom form callback. See the documentation for the details.
