ModelViewSet - why aren't foreign key fields returned

[Tim Nelson]

I have seen that model.object.all() will get all fields including those in foreign key tables.

I have a simple Inventory model that references by foreign key and Item model.  My ViewSet inherits from ModelViewSet, but when I do a list on the view set only the foreign key PK is returned not the actual foreign key fields.

Is there a way to get the foreign key fields returned?

Mmm... I'm not sure if I am understanding you, did you mean to have a field like "relmodel_id"?

For example I have Inventory that has a store and price and Item that has a description and sku.  The foreign key is in Inventory pointing to Item.

The ModelViewSet against Inventory is only returning the Inventory Model data (and the item.id FK) which I assumed would also return the related data (description and sku) from item.

If I just do a simple Inventory.objects.all() I do get the related data, I thought the MOdelViewSet would do that as well by default.

OK, it's because ind you have to specify how that relation is represented, re-read from here:
