✅

You can easily add relations to the ManyToManyField using the add() function (outside of your update()):

blog.entries.add(post_1, post_2 ...)

updating manytomany field you need to get instance of the sub class then apply update function.

class y:

 b = Text Field

class X:

 y = ManyToMany(y)

Code:

for y in x.y.all():
    if y: meet you condition for which row to update
       y.update(b='update')

I guess django does know support update() with M2M as it just create associate table for support and it can’t understand which row in associate table to update.
