How to save from html select to sql in django-CodePudding

I want to save from HTML select to SQL but "Cannot assign "'27'": "UserProduct.category" must be a "Category" instance." I get an error. What am I doing wrong?

sell.html

<div >
        <p>Yerləşdirdiyiniz məhsul "İkinci əl məhsullar" kateqoriyasında görünəcək.</p>
        <select  name="up_category">
            <option value="0">Kateqoriya seç</option>
            {% for category in category %}
                {% if category.active %}
                    {% if category.parent_id %}
                        <option value="{{category.id}}">{{category.name}}</option>
                    {% else %}
                        <option value="{{category.id}}" style="font-weight: bold;">{{category.name}}</option>
                    {% endif %}
                {% endif %}
            {% endfor %}
        </select>

CodePudding user response：

In your UserProduct class, the field category is a ForeignKey to the Category class. Try getting the Category first from your request.POST, then adding it:

def sell(request):
    category = Category.objects.all()
    context = {'category': category}
    if request.POST:
        product_name = request.POST.get('product_name')
        up_category = request.POST.get('up_category')
        keywords = request.POST.get('keywords')
        descriptions = request.POST.get('descriptions')
        main_image = request.POST.get('main_image')
        price = request.POST.get('price')
        detail = request.POST.get('detail')
        image1 = request.POST.get('image1')
        image2 = request.POST.get('image2')
        image3 = request.POST.get('image3')
        if product_name == '' or up_category == 'Kateqoriya seç' or keywords == '' or descriptions == '' or price == '' or price == str or detail == '':
            messages.warning(request, 'Bütün xanaları doldurduğunuzdan əmin olun!')
        else:
            cat = Category.objects.get(pk=up_category)    # CHANGED
            newUserProduct = UserProduct(user=request.user,
                                     name=product_name,
                                     category=cat,    # CHANGED
                                     keywords=keywords,
                                     descriptions=descriptions,
