I'implemented two models, Card and Dish. I used many-to-many relationship because Dish can be in many cards. Not sure if I did that right because any Dish that I add is automatically added to every Card. Here is the code:


class Dish(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    description = models.TextField(max_length=1000)
    price = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2)
    preparation_time = models.IntegerField()
    date_added = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    update_date = models.DateField(auto_now=True)
    vegan = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name


class Card(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    description = models.TextField(max_length=1000)
    date_added = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    update_date = models.DateField(auto_now=True)
    dishes = models.ManyToManyField(Dish, blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

An the problem in admin panel looks like this: enter image description here

When I create a dish it is alway added to every card.
Any help please I'm just begining to learn sql and django ORM

Dishes being in that admin field doesn't mean they're actually selected, that's just the Multi-Select field. Only the ones that are highlighted are actually in the field. and you do +Click to toggle if they're selected or not

I guess that was the best way to show a Many-to-Many field, tho it might be confusing to use imo.. That's why I always just edit them in the shell, especially when there gets 100+, 200+ items.
