This is a simplified version of the models:
class Toy(models.Model):
#generic fields
class Order(models.Model):
customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer)
class OrderItem(models.Model):
order = models.ForeignKey(Order)
toy = models.ForeignKey(Toy)
points = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField(default=3)
A customer can make multiple orders, to it increases the number of points per toy.
This subquery, only returns the first row of OrderItem:
class Customer(models.Model):
def get_toys_with_points():
order_items = OrderItem(toy=models.OuterRef('pk'), order__customer=self)
toys = Toy.objects.annotate(
points_sum = models.Sum(Subquery(order_items.values('points')))
)
return toys
So, when I pull that into my template:
{% for toy in customer.get_toys_with_points %}
{{ toy.points_sum }}
{% endfor %}
I am always getting the value of the first row (even if there are more purchases that would sum up to 25 for example).
You don't need a subquery here.
toys = Toy.objects.filter(orderitem__order__customer=self).annotate(
points_sum=models.Sum('orderitem__points')
)
