I have a webpage in my issue tracker project that allows a project manager to assign a user to a project. I am using React Select to allow the manager to select a user from a dropdown. When they click the add user button, the selected value gets sent to the backend through an api call. I have an APIView called assignuser, which takes in the post request and updates the user foreign key field in my Project model.
Am I referencing the selected value wrong? I have tried sending selectedValue.value to my backend but it keeps on coming up as undefined. Keep in mind, obviously when you console.log selectedValue {label: "...", value: "..."} are both in selectedValue. This also applies to the SV in project.js that gets sent to manageusers.js. I'm just trying to reference value & send it to my APIView successfully and update the user of a particular project.

if serializer.is_valid():
user = serializer.data.get('user')
project_name = serializer.data.get('project_name')
project = Project.objects.get(name=project_name)
project.user = user
project.save(update_fields=['user'])
return Response(ProjectSerializer(project).data, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
