[Django]-Fields.E304 Reverse accessor clashes in Django

✅

The code is wrong because Person will get a reverse relationship back to Person2Person.person, and also to Person2Person.friend; the default name would be Person.person2person_set but Django can’t use the same name for both.

So you could set a related_name on either, or both:

class Person2Person(models.Model):
    person = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='person2persons')
    friend = models.ForeignKey(Person, related_name='friends')

Now Person.friend‘s related to the Person2Person objects that have this Person as a friend, and Person.person2person to the ones that have this Person as a person.

However, why aren’t you using a ManyToManyField to 'self' on Person?
