[Answered ]-Django Model: creating a new object on save for FK

You could create the FK object in the view method, or in case of tastypie, hydrate.

By not putting the FK object creation logic in the save method of the model, you dont mix up the logic. In other words, Avoid creating an object of a one class, in another classes’ save method.

That way the logic is clean, and all you have to do is bundle.data['contact'] = Originator.objects.get_or_create() instead of overriding the save
