[Fixed]-Django can't save model choices selected values

I think the problem is that you were defining choice_field as CharField, but your choices are using id as keys, which are integers. You need to change the choice_field to be models.IntegerField.

Also, sounds like your choice_field is based on another model’s entries. Your way of populating data might not work because your CHOICES variable would get evaluated only once. You should use ForeignKey for choice_field instead:

class Model2(models.Model):
    choice_field = models.ForeignKey(Model1)

If you use django default way of rendering form, ForeignKey would be rendered as a dropdown just like choices, so you should definitely use that.
