11750	ManyToMany field does not respect Proxy models	mxposed	nobody	"Hi

I have a proxy model above django.contrib.auth.models.User
and i have a ManyToMany field referencing to django.contrib.auth.models.User

When i try to add an instance of my proxy class to the field i get the TypeError: 'user' instance expected

{{{
class MyUser(User):
     class Meta:¶
         proxy = True

class Item(models.Model):
    owners = models.ManyToManyField(User)

Item.objects.get(fk=1).owners.add(MyUser.objects.get(fk=1))
