How do I get all for-looped values from a Django template

I am new to django. I want to use this django form to get number_of_days for all {{ name }} values
<div>
<form action="change_number_of_days" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for name in filenames %}
<input type="number" name="number_of_days" id="number_of_days" value=200>
<label for="number_of_days"> {{ name }} </label>
<input type="hidden" value="{{ name }}" name="name_of_file"><br><br>
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit"> Gem </button>
</form>
</div>
Currently Im only getting the values of the LAST loop(Pizzaria, 200), but I want to get all looped inputs as a POST request
This is my VIEW.py
def change_number_of_days(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
days = request.POST['number_of_days']
print(cleaning_days)
filename = request.POST['name_of_file']
print(filename)
return render(request, 'price_calculation_complete.html')
return HttpResponse("error")

You have explicitly mentioned that - That's why it shows only 200
<input type="number" name="number_of_days" id="number_of_days" value=200>
You have to set the first <input> tag's value to {{ name }}.
<div>
<form action="change_number_of_days" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% for name in filenames %}
<input type="number" name="number_of_days" id="number_of_days" value="{{ name }}">
<label for="number_of_days"> {{ name }} </label>
<input type="hidden" value="200" name="name_of_file"><br><br>
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit"> Gem </button>
</form>
</div>

I figured it out. To anyone interested:
days_list = request.POST.getlist('number_of_cleaning_days')
I had to use .getlist instead of just POST

Force a hidden input to return a fixed value

The following is my current code:
{% for comment in commentlist %} <!-- Comment section -->
<h5>
{{ comment[0] }}
</h5>
<h6>Created {{ comment[1].strftime('%d/%m/%Y at %I:%M%p') }} By: {{ comment[2] }}</h6>
{% if session.username == comment[2] %}
<form action="{{ url_for('detail', slug=entry.slug) }}" class="form-horizontal" method="post">
<input class="form-control" name="commentid" type="hidden">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-0 col-sm-1">
<button class="btn btn-default1" type="submit">Delete!</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
{% endif %}
<br></br>
{% endfor %}
When the button it pressed it should return the value of
{{ comment[3] }}
This value I should then be able to fetch from Flask in the form of
request.form.get('commentid')
Any ideas of how this could be done would be much appreciated!

<input class="form-control" name="commentid" type="hidden" value="{{ comment[3] }}">

Pass value into {{ form.Product_ID }} in HTML Django

i use the
{{ form.Product_PId }}
to make this field
is there anyway to pass this value
{{ Product.PId }}
where the PId is a primary key from another database
and be like this
<input id="id_Product_ID" min="0" name="Product_ID" type="number" value="{{Product.PId}}" required="">
so that the end result would be like
<input id="id_Product_ID" min="0" name="Product_ID" type="number" value="1" required="">
**to sum up the question
is there a way to pass {{ Product.PId }} into {{ form.Product_PId }}
so that the {{ Product.PId }} value could turn into usable number taken from another database**
reference
forms.py
class PlaceOrder(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Order
fields = ["Product_ID","HowMany","DateSubmit",]
HTML
{% for Product in Display_Product %}
<form method="post" action="" id="CartInput"> {% csrf_token %}
<div>
{{ form.Product_ID }}
{{ form.HowMany }}
{{ form.DateSubmit }}
</div>
<div>
<input name="Cart{{ Product.PId }}" type="submit" value="Add to Cart">
</div>
</form>
{% endfor %}
views.py
class Catalogue(generic.ListView, ModelFormMixin):
template_name = 'Shop/Catalogue.html'
model = models.Order
form_class = forms.PlaceOrder
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
Display_Product = Product.objects.all()
now = datetime.datetime.now()
*** tried this one but failed, it just pass in the string {{Product.PId}} and not turn into number ***
form = PlaceOrder(initial= {'Product_ID': "{{Product.PId}}"})
context = {
'form': form,
'date': now,
'Display_Product': Display_Product
}
return render(request, 'Shop/Catalogue.html', context)
thanks and sorry for the long question

Using the {{ }} syntax to reference an object is only used in templates.
On your view you should just use Object.id when passing your initial values.
...
# Get the object that you need
product = Product.objects.first()
# Define your initial values
form = PlaceOrder(initial= {'Product_ID': product.id })

this is what i was looking for , found out that i can use different form method and combine them
i will put it out here hope someone might find it useful
<form method="post" action="" id="CartInput"> {% csrf_token %}
<div>
<input name="Product_ID" type="hidden" value="{{ Product.PId }}" >
<input name="HowMany" type="number" value="1" >
{{ form.DateSubmit }}
</div>
<div>
<input name="Cart{{ Product.PId }}" type="submit" value="Add to Cart">
</div>
</form>

Django - Submit multiple forms with one submit button

I'm trying to create a check in page that lists all of the people that have signed up. Each person has an input box that submits the number of hours they were at the event. I want it so that the same form is submitted multiple times for every person; I don't want to have a submit button for every person because there will be several people and it'll be tedious. I'm using a for loop {% for signups in signup %} to loop through the queryset for the people who are signed up.
Here's a screenshot to illustrate:
In the backend, I want it to save the number of hours to the row in the queryset with the matching name.
HTML:
<form action="/events/occ_checkin" class="form" method="POST" id="checkin_{{ signups.id }}" name="checkin_{{ signups.id }}">{% csrf_token %}
{% for form in formset %}
<h5>
<label for="{{ form.fullname.id_for_label }}">***how would I get the attendee's name?***</label>
<input id="{{ form.fullname.id_for_label }}" name="{{ form.fullname.html_name }}" type="hidden" value="***attendee's name here as well***">
<input id="{{ form.hours.id_for_label }}" name="{{ form.hours.html_name }}" step="0.01" type="number" class="form-control" value="{{ events.hours }}">
</h5>
{% endfor %}
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Using modelformset_factory worked.
HTML:
<form action="/events/occ_checkin" class="form" method="POST" id="checkin_{{ signups.id }}" name="checkin_{{ signups.id }}">{% csrf_token %}
{% for form in formset %}
<h5>
<label for="{{ form.fullname.id_for_label }}">{% for signups in signup %}{% if forloop.parentloop.counter == forloop.counter %}{{ signups.fullname }}{% endif %}{% endfor %}</label>
<input id="{{ form.fullname.id_for_label }}" name="{{ form.fullname.html_name }}" type="hidden" value="{% for signups in signup %}{% if forloop.parentloop.counter == forloop.counter %}{{ signups.fullname }}{% endif %}{% endfor %}">
<input id="{{ form.hours.id_for_label }}" name="{{ form.hours.html_name }}" step="0.01" type="number" class="form-control" value="{{ events.hours }}">
</h5>
{% endfor %}
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
For views.py and forms.py I just followed the documentation on formsets.

Is it possible to instantiate a formset which isn't call with {{ formset.as_p }}?

I call a formset but not with {{ formset.as_p }} because I want to change the display of forms.
I know when using {{ formset.as_p }} it is possible to instantiate a field to edit it directly.
But is that possible using a formset that way
<form method="POST" action="">
{{ formset.management_form }} {% csrf_token %}
<table>
<!-- <br>{{ formset.as_p }}<br> -->
{% for question in questions %}<hr>
<label for="question">{{ question }} [{{ question.id }}]</label>
<input type="hidden" id="id_form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-question" name="form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-question" value="{{ question.id }}"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="answer">Answer :</label>
<input type="text" id="id_form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-answer" name="form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-answer" placeholder="answer here"/>
<input type="hidden" id="id_form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-id" name="form-{{ forloop.counter0 }}-id" value="{{ reply.id }}"/>
</p>
{% endfor %}
</table>
<center><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-success" />
Retour</center>
</form>
I wish I could instantiate the fields answer.
I tried passing in a values like this :
{% for reply in question.reply_set.all %}
<p>
<label for="answer">Réponse :</label>
<input type="text" id="id_form-{{ forloop.parentloop.counter0 }}-answer" name="form-{{ forloop.parentloop.counter0 }}-answer" value="{{ reply.answer }}"/>
<input type="hidden" id="id_form-{{ forloop.parentloop.counter0 }}-id" name="form-{{ forloop.parentloop.counter0 }}-id" value="{{ reply.id }}"/>
</p>
{% endfor %}
But by doing it like this just initializes the values and does not allow to modify
There has a way to do what I wish with this formset structure?
EDIT :
class ReplyForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, page_id, *args,**kwargs):
super (ReplyForm,self ).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
self.fields['question'].queryset = Question.objects.filter(page=page_id)
class Meta:
model = Reply
exclude = ('user','creationDate')

If I got you right, you want to customize the view of a form rendered with a formset. Of course, you can do it, since formset is just a set of forms. Render a formset manually and do so with the form as well.
<form method="post" action="">
{{ formset.management_form }}
<table>
{% for form in formset %}
{{ form.non_field_errors }}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ form.subject.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.subject.id_for_label }}">Email subject:</label>
{{ form.subject }}
</div>
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ form.message.errors }}
<label for="{{ form.message.id_for_label }}">Your message:</label>
{{ form.message }}
</div>
# more fields
{% endfor %}
</table>
</form>
In case you have multiple items field (question in your case) in one form you can itterate them and render manually as well:
{% for field in form.question %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ field.errors }}
<label for="{{ field.id_for_label }}">Some label:</label> {{ field }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
