Django removing object from ManyToMany relationship


my_mood.interests.remove(my_interest)

Django's Relations Docs

Note: you might have to get an instance of my_mood and my_interest using Django's QuerySet API before you can execute this code.


If you need to remove all M2M references without touching the underlying objects, it's easier to work from the other direction:

interest.mood_set.clear()

While this does not directly address the OP's question, it's often useful in this situation.


In your case you can simply clear the relationship

my_mood.interests.clear()

Then perhaps when you are again creating new relation in your serializer you can do something like this

interests = Interests.objects.get_or_create(name='Something')my_mood_obj.tags.add(tag[0])my_mood_obj.save()
