implementing Django Rest Framework Serializer Validation for Nested Objects
I'm trying to configure Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working with a question with validating nested objects in my Django Rest Framework (DRF) serializers. Specifically, I'm trying to validate a nested serializer that should take data for a `Profile` model, which is associated with a `User` model. The structure looks like this: ```python class User(models.Model): username = models.CharField(max_length=150) email = models.EmailField() class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) bio = models.TextField() age = models.IntegerField() ``` And my serializers are defined as follows: ```python from rest_framework import serializers class ProfileSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): class Meta: model = Profile fields = ['bio', 'age'] class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer): profile = ProfileSerializer() class Meta: model = User fields = ['username', 'email', 'profile'] def create(self, validated_data): profile_data = validated_data.pop('profile') user = User.objects.create(**validated_data) Profile.objects.create(user=user, **profile_data) return user ``` The scenario arises when I send a request to create a new user along with a profile, like this: ```json { "username": "john_doe", "email": "john@example.com", "profile": { "bio": "Hello World!", "age": 30 } } ``` I'm getting a `ValidationError` on the profile data with the message: `{'bio': [ErrorDetail(string='This field may not be blank.', code='blank')]}`. It seems to be treating the `bio` field as blank, but I'm sending it as part of the request. I’ve tried adding `required=True` to the `bio` field in the `ProfileSerializer`, but that didn’t resolve the scenario. What could be causing this, and how can I resolve the validation behavior? I'm using Django 3.2 and Django Rest Framework 3.12. Has anyone dealt with something similar?
