Thanks for explain is pretty simple.
If I have two foreignkey from two different classes . Can they get the same related_name?

[@lastmaj]

So the related_name need only for the ORM ? what the analogy in SQL?

hi bro can u suggest me what i have to do after Django web-development.I m confused what to start next

[@creepermanpro]

[@ramyaksharma7261]

thanks for the help man, But is null=True same as blank=True?

[@nbzp28]

no
null means that attribute could be equal to zero
e.g. item_quantity could be zero, but it can`t be empty

[@user-bf7bz2fs1t]

good

[@akifazwad1489]

Is it just curiousity or math majors just happen to know a lot more than just math

[@ches_ter6842]

class Client(models.Model):
name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=250)
surname = models.CharField('Surname', max_length=250)
phone = models.CharField('Phone', max_length=10)
...
def __str__(self):
return str(self.surname ) + ' | ' + str(self.name)
class Checklist(models.Model):
client_name = models.ForeignKey(Client, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
point1 = models.BooleanField('point1', default=False)
point2 = models.BooleanField('point2', default=False)
point3 = models.BooleanField('point3', default=False)
...
def __str__(self):
return self.client_name
How can i provide or add all Client properties to Checklist instance? (note: I create Checklist object via forms.py) And when it's done how to get an access to Client properties using Checklist object?

[@bakalimao9335]

math.major.all() ==> why can't I do this?
