✅

It is clear that request.POST['item'] is not a Category instance, you need to read a category instance from your database based on request.POST['item']

You may do:

item = request.POST['item']
cat = Category.objects.get(item=item)  # if Category has item field

Now, you can use cat like this:

customer_lead_obj.item_required = cat

If item is not unique, you will need to pass an attribue that you can use to identify your category. Instead of item you can pass for example cat_id, something like:

cat_id = request.POST['cat_id']
cat = Category.objects.get(id=cat_id)  # or (pk=cat_id)
# ...
customer_lead_obj.item_required = cat
