Flask-Admin: create child objects with parents in "create" form
In my Flask / SQLAlchemy application, I have the SQLAlchemy Parent and Child classes, where all the interesting data about each parent is in its children:
class Parent(Base):
__tablename__ = 'parent'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
children = relationship(Child)
class Child(Base):
__tablename__ = 'child'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
parent_id = Column(Integer, ForeignKey('parent.id'))
name = Column(String)
I want to create Parents in Flask-Admin frontend and when I create them I want to be able to create my child objects at the same time. When I go to the "create" form in the ModelView for the default parent, I can only select existing children from the menu and not create new ones.
For example, when creating each parent, I would like to have text boxes where I can enter the "names" of the child objects, so that when Flask-Admin creates the parent, it also creates the children with those values in their "name".
Is this possible with Flask-Admin? Or, if not, how do I configure the Flask-Admin ModelView to do this?

I think you are looking for inline models .
You can use them in your example with:
class ParentModelView(ModelView):
inline_models = (Child, )
