Referring to Users in Django models - django

Question

I'm saving a list of values for each user on my Django app, taken from a daily poll. I can't get the 'User' field responder to save properly as it always opts for the default value 'Null'. Instead of a list of values for each user, I am getting a single list in the database for all the users combined.
Here is my model:
class Repondez(Model):
score_list = JSONField()
responder = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.score_list
Here is views.py:
r = Repondez()
r.score_list = []
global list_length
def home(request):
context = {}
return render(request, 'rating/home.html', context)
#login_required
def add(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
selected_option = (request.POST['rating'])
list_length = len(r.score_list)
if selected_option == 'option1':
r.score_list.append(1)
elif selected_option == 'option2':
r.score_list.append(2)
elif selected_option == 'option3':
r.score_list.append(3)
elif selected_option == 'option4':
r.score_list.append(4)
elif selected_option == 'option5':
r.score_list.append(5)
else:
return HttpResponse(400, 'Invalid form')
r.save()
return redirect(add)
context = {
'r' : r,
}
return render(request, 'rating/add.html', context)
I have tried to avoid having a default value for responder but am always asked for one during migrate. I tried a ForeignKey and ManytoManyField for the 'User' relationship as well but in each case I am getting a single, combined list for all users. How can I save the responder field properly so each list is saved for their respective user?

In your add view you need to set the responder field for the instance:
r.responder = request.user
r.save()
Ok to solve the list issue you are having I would change the model to use a foreign key to the user instead of onetoone field
class Respondez(models.Model):
class Meta:
ordering = (‘day’,)
responder = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL
related_name=‘scores’)
score = models.IntegerField()
day = models.DateField(auto_add_now=True)
Then access the scores from the user instance like so:
request.user.scores.all()
You can also access the score list using values_list:
request.user.scores.all().values_list(‘score’, flat=True)
