[Answered ]-Unable to upload multi files through django serializer

The point is that if you want the main model to have a lot of images or videos. You cannot add it as a field in the main model. You need to create a new model that will be associated with the main

for example i can show you my code with multi FileField upload

my models

class VideoPost(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey("profiles.HNUsers", on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField("Timestamp", blank=True, null=True, auto_now_add=True)
    text = models.TextField("Description text", blank=True))


class PostVideo(models.Model):
    video_post = models.ForeignKey('VideoPost', models.CASCADE, related_name='post_video')
    video = models.FileField('Image', upload_to='post/images/'

my serializers:

class PostVideoSerializer(serializer.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = PostVideo
        fields = '__all__'


class VideoPostSerialzier(serialzer.ModelSerializer):
    post_video = PostVideoSerializer(many=True, required=False)
    class Meta:
        model = VideoPost
        fields = '__all__'

    def create(self, validated_data):
        videos = validated_data.pop('post_video')
        post = VideoPost.objects.create(**validated_data)
        if videos:
            videos_instance = [PostVideo(post=post, video=video) for video in videos]
            PostVideo.objects.bulk_create(images_instance)
        return post

now you just need to call serializer.save() in your view

but you need a specific request like:

{
    'text': 'sometext',
    'user': 20
    'post_video': [IMAGEDATA1, IMAGEDATA2]
}

Also I wrote it blindly so there may be some mistakes but i hope you will have it as an example to rewrite your code
