Plugin: ForeignKey array?

[ZuperSero]

Hope someone can clarify this for me,
I want to make a form the can add multiple virtual machines as ForeignKeys.

Model:

class System(NetBoxModel):
    servers = models.ForeignKey(
        to='virtualization.VirtualMachine',
        on_delete=models.PROTECT,
        related_name='+',
        blank=True,
        null=True
    )
    #...

Form:

class SystemForm(NetBoxModelForm):
    servers = DynamicModelMultipleChoiceField(
        queryset=VirtualMachine.objects.all()
    )

But with this approach its adding a list of virtualmachine elements.
Is there a way to make the model key an array of ForeignKeys?

Thank you 😁

A foreign key is a database field which references a value in some other table; it can only reference a single object. To represent relationships to multiple objects, Django provides ManyToManyField, which works by constructing an intermediate table mapping objects on either side of the relationship.

Thank you for the quick response 😀
So as far as I understand it takes the same parameters as foreign key? So i would be able to just switch it out? I tried but it proberbly needs a new database migration?

    servers = models.ManyToManyField(
        to='virtualization.VirtualMachine',
        on_delete=models.PROTECT,
        related_name='+',
        blank=True,
        null=True
    )

Use a ManyToMany field.
