Django polymorphic + drf writable nested. The `.update()` method does not support writable nested fields by default.

[kabancheg]

Can not update nested polymorphic object. I tried all methods (patch, put) but the drf exception occurs. I checked all issues/solutions and nothing helps. I've stucked on it for 2 weeks. Maybe I am doing wrong...

exception

The `.update()` method does not support writable nested fields by default.
Write an explicit `.update()` method for serializer `api.serializers.NodeSerializer`, or set `read_only=True` on nested serializer fields.

data

{
    "pk": 1,
    "context_set": [
        {
            "field": 1,
            "node": 1,
            "resourcetype": "SimpleContext"
        }
    ]
}

same issue, but it complains about .create()

[AlanNggg]

class ContextPolymorphicSerializer(PolymorphicSerializer, serializers.ModelSerializer):
    model_serializer_mapping = {
        SimpleContext: SimpleContextSerializer,
        TemplateContext: TemplateContextSerializer
    }
   class Meta:
        model = SimpleContext
        fields = '__all__'

It seems that the serializer needs to inherit serializers.ModelSerializer and have Meta class.

I still get an Incorrect type Error

rest_framework.exceptions.ValidationError: {'hierarchy': [ErrorDetail(string='Incorrect type. Expected pk value, received str.', code='incorrect_type')]}

And the hierarchy is not even of type str it is dict.
