Our Civi model has a relationship to itself with a related_name defined, causing the following warning to appear.

Further details

threads.Civi.linked_civis: (fields.W345) related_name has no effect on ManyToManyField with a symmetrical relationship, e.g. to "self".

Task

• ensure the above warning doesn't display anymore
  • e.g., remove the related_name argument, or set it to +

Hey, I'm interested in working on this issue. Can you please elaborate more?

[brylie]

Thanks, @poorvaditya18! I'll assign you to the issue.

Can you specify the path where I could exactly find this function?

[brylie]

It looks like the warning message stems from the following line.

OpenCiviWiki/project/threads/models.py

Line 227 in 034d8df

linked_civis = models.ManyToManyField("self", related_name="links", blank=True)
