manytomanyfield

I would like to check that I get not more than 3 relations set on a manytomanyfield.

I tried on the clean method to do this :

if self.tags.count()>3:
  raise ValidationError(_(u'You cannot add more than 3 tags'))

But self.tags returns not the current updates... only saved objects.

Do you have an idea to access to them ?

Thanks
