Allows ParentalManyToMany fields values to be respected when using Django's
loaddata
management command.I'm aware that these changes introduce the possibility of developers accidentally modifying the live database by setting the field value to something other than an iterable of objects. But, I cannot really see another way to make this work, as the parent object is not saved again after the manytomanyfield data is loaded. There does not seem to be a way to tell if the method is being called as a result of
loaddata
or direct manipulation either, so cannot see a way to make this behaviour conditional. I'm open to ideas on this though :)
