[Django]-Django-reversion revert ManyToMany fields outside admin

If I understand it correctly, I think you should get the revision for the version; the version contains the data of the object, the revision contains versions for multiple objects. Have a look at:

some_version.revision.version_set.all()

Concretely, I think you should use (untested):

[
v for v in Version.objects.get_for_date(product, ondate).revision.version_set.all()
if version.content_type == ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Sku)
]

Note, btw, that reversions should know that it should follow relationships. Using the low level API:

reversion.register(YourModel, follow=[“your_foreign_key_field”])

I had the same issue and thanks to @Webthusiast’s answer I got my working code. Adapting to your example would be something like this.

Imports:

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
import reversion

Register your models:

reversion.register(Sku)
reversion.register(Product, follow=['elements'])

And then you can iterate:

object = Product.objects.get(some_id)
versions = reversion.get_for_object(self.object)
for version in versions:
    elements = [v.object_version.object \
        for v in version.revision.version_set.all() \
        if v.content_type == ContentType.objects.get_for_model(Product)]

The documentation for this is now on Read the Docs. Refer to the ‘Advanced model registration‘ section of the Low-level API page.
