How do i define fields when creating an object?

Question

I am creating an object like so,

order = Order.objects.create(created_by=anon_user,modified_by=anon_user)

i am getting an error orders_order.phone may not be NULL. phone is one of many fields that belong to the Order model.

i have failed(logically) to include the phone field as i create the Order object.

Any suggestions.

Use same logic like the question what I have been already answered for you.stackoverflow.com/questions/14899334/… — UnLiMiTeD

If you dont want to pass phone object in the Order model allow null for it. — UnLiMiTeD

Alternatively, set those fields to blank and enforce their presence with a ModelForm if necessary. — Brandon Taylor

Django requires your phone field to not be null right now. This also means you can't pass phone=None, so if your phone variable that you're passing into your Order object is None, it will fail.

Your options are:

Set a default value on the model
Allow null on the model
Pass in a non-null value to the model upon creation

Assuming from your question the model requires that phone number be there on creation.

Things you can do.

phone_number = models.PhoneField(null=True, blank=True)
phone_number = models.PhoneField(default='6132760547')

Those to model changes should help first is saying that the field can be blank as in contain an empty or None

Second is if nothing is passed default value is that number.
