I am using django mptt for tree structure. I ma adding parent to any object while updating not creating any object as shown below .
user= User.objects.create(username='abc')
after some logics or steps when we are sure that it can be added as a child of some user the I am updating the user instance.
User.objects.filter(pk=user.pk).update(parent=parent_user_instance)
user is added as the parent and when I'll do user.get_siblings() I'll get all siblings but when I'll do user.get_family() then it fails to fetch its ancestors or descendant .
two important things here are :
1 ) Built in User model (django auth_user) of django is extended to enable mptt .
2 ) I am adding parent through update() not create() # I am not sure update() have something to do with the issue.
