add() argument after * must be a sequence, not Groups

Question

I'm trying to pass a 'group' as an extra field using importer-option from django-adaptors but I'm getting the following error... add() argument after * must be a sequence, not Group ``` ContactCSVModel.import_data(data=self.filepath, extra_fields="1") ``` This is my CsvModel... CsvModel.py ``` class ContactCSVModel(CsvModel): first_name = CharField() last_name = CharField() company = CharField() mobile = CharField() groups = DjangoModelField(Group) class Meta: delimiter = "^" dbModel = Contact update = { 'keys': ['mobile'] } ``` model.py ``` class Contact(models.Model): """ Stores all contacts.

Accepted Answer

At the moment django-adaptors doesn't support ManyToManyFields. As there is more and more requests about it, I am going to integrate it soonish.

If you want to workaround that, you should work in 2 steps. The first one would be to create a python object by using a simple CSVModel by removing:

```
dbModel = Contact
```

Unfortunately, you would also have to do the update logic manually.

Then you would need to explicitly create the django instance by doing something like:

```
contact = Contact.objects.create(first_name = csv_object.first_name, ....)
contact.groups.add(csv_object.group)
```

Hope that helps
