[Django]-Django MultipleObjectsReturned

✅

If you want to return all entries with author=user, then use filter()

entries = Entries.objects.filter(author=user)

At the moment, you are using get(), which expects to return one Entries object. As there is more that one Entries with author=user, you get the Entries.MultipleObjectsReturned error.

Note, with Django, the convention is to use the singular name Entry for your model, instead of the plural Entries.

You’re using get, when you should be using filter.

Only use get when there’s only one possible result. In that case, you get back the object itself, not a queryset. There is then nothing to loop over, so the for is extraneous.

If you actually expect a queryset, you must use filter.
