Django foreign key default value example

Here’s an example of how to set a default value for a models.ForeignKey field:
class Foo(models.Model):
    a = models.CharField(max_length=10)
def get_foo():
    return Foo.objects.get(id=1)
class Bar(models.Model):
    b = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    a = models.ForeignKey(Foo, default=get_foo)
