Show multi-selected itens when load a edit view

I'm doing a edit form for some data. I'm having problem to pass information to . As you can see in my view, I pass the data to form using "initial" dictionary.
VIEWS.PY
#login_required
def project_detail(request, project_id):
if request.method == 'POST':
project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id)
form = ProjectDetailForm(project_id, request.POST, instance = project)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.client = Project.objects.get(pk=project_id).client
form.save()
messages.success(request,'Projeto modificado')
return redirect('projects')
else:
messages.error(request,'Ocorreu um erro!')
else:
project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id)
form = ProjectDetailForm(project_id, initial={'modal':project.modal,
'culture':project.culture,
'owner':project.owner,
'value':project.value,
'final_date':project.final_date,
'text':project.text,
'status':project.status,
'farm':project.farm.values()})
return render(request,'project_detail.html',{'form':form})
But doing this, the data is not displaied in . Thinking here, ManyToManyField saves data in lists. I tried iterate this field but still not working and I guess thats not the best way to do this.
MODELS.PY
class Project(models.Model):
modal_types = [('CUSTEIO AGRÍCOLA','Custeio Agrícola'),('CUSTEIO PECUÁRIO','Custeio Pecuário'),('INVESTIMENTO AGRÍCOLA','Investimento Agrícola'),('INVESTIMENTO PECUÁRIO','Investimento Pecuário'),('FGPP','FGPP')]
status_opts = [('Análise','Análise'),('Desenvolvimento','Desenvolvimento'),('Processamento','Processamento'),('Liberação','Liberação'),('Finalizado','Finalizado'),('Cancelado','Cancelado'),('Suspenso','Suspenso')]
farm = models.ManyToManyField(Farm, related_name='farm_name',verbose_name='Propriedade beneficiada')

forms.py
class ProjectDetailForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Project
fields = ['status','owner', 'farm', 'warranty', 'modal', 'culture', 'value','final_date','text']
def __init__(self, project_id, *args, **kwargs):
client_id = Project.objects.get(pk=project_id).client
super(ProjectDetailForm,self).__init__(*args,**kwargs)
self.fields['value'].required = False

self.fields['warranty'].queryset = Farm.objects.filter(client=client_id)
for field_name, field in self.fields.items():
field.widget.attrs['class'] = 'form-control'
Here all the fields with information, but in "select" nothing is selected, despite having data in the database
Someone can help me?

Why are you passing 'project_id' into your form class instance? Try changing this:
form = ProjectDetailForm(project_id, request.POST, instance = project)
to this:
form = ProjectDetailForm(request.POST, instance = project)
and see if it helps. Also in your form initialization, I'm not sure you're using the "initial=" values dictionary correctly. Initial values are typically defaults applicable to the "create" view, not database records that it sounds like you want to see in an update view. I think you want to pass in the instance of your database record there, something like:
else:
project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id)
form = ProjectDetailForm(instance=project)
Also, you really don't need to write project object query twice in this view. You can do something like:
def project_detail(request, project_id):
project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id) # query this once here
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ProjectDetailForm(request.POST, instance=project)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.client = Project.objects.get(pk=project_id).client
form.save()
messages.success(request,'Projeto modificado')
return redirect('projects')
else:
messages.error(request,'Ocorreu um erro!')
# you probably want a redirect here as well
else:
form = ProjectDetailForm(instance=project)
return render(request,'project_detail.html',{'form':form})
Finally, if you're trying to limit the choices from your ManyToMany field in the user's form, you can do so with something like this:
class ProjectDetailForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = YourModelName
fields = ['farm']
farm = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
queryset=Farm.objects.filter(some_field=some_criteria).order_by('some_field'),
widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)
More info about widgets on form classes here in Django docs.

Make a choices list for forms.py after receiving data from views.py in django

So this is the scenario. I allow my user to first input their vehicle brand with one form and then use another form to list down the models available for that vehicle brand. The information on the vehicles and the brands is stored in my database.
Refer to this image to get a better idea:
And this is my views.py:
def driver_dashboard_trip_brand (request, brand):
if request.method == "POST":
form = AddVehicleForm(request.POST)
else:
form = AddVehicleForm()
brands = VehicleBrand.objects.all()
context = {
"form":form,
"brands":brands,
"chosen_brand":brand
}
return render (request, "app/driver_dashboard.html", context)
And my forms.py:
class AddVehicleForm(forms.ModelForm):
model = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=VehicleModel.objects.all())
vehicle_colour = forms.ChoiceField(choices=COLOURS)
vehicle_number = forms.CharField(max_length=8, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'eg: CAB-1234'}))
class Meta:
model = Vehicle
fields = ['model', 'vehicle_colour', 'vehicle_number']
So in order to set a query in the forms.py, I would first need to send the data from views.py to forms.py, and then I also need to do a query.
So my question is how can I query for all the car models from the VehicleModel database and create choices attribute for the form, once the user chooses the car brand.
My models.py...
class VehicleModel (models.Model):
brand = models.ForeignKey(VehicleBrand, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
model = models.CharField(max_length=30)
def __str__ (self):
return f"{self.brand} - {self.model}"

Its honestly not so hard, i kinda figured it out...
So this is my forms.py...
class AddVehicleForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, brand=None, *args, **kwargs):
super(AddVehicleForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['model'].queryset = VehicleModel.objects.filter(brand=brand)
model = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=VehicleModel.objects.all())
vehicle_colour = forms.ChoiceField(choices=COLOURS)
vehicle_number = forms.CharField(max_length=8, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'eg: CAB-1234'}))
class Meta:
model = Vehicle
fields = ['model', 'vehicle_colour', 'vehicle_number']
class AddVehicleFormPost(forms.ModelForm):
model = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=VehicleModel.objects.all())
vehicle_colour = forms.ChoiceField(choices=COLOURS)
vehicle_number = forms.CharField(max_length=8, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'eg: CAB-1234'}))
class Meta:
model = Vehicle
fields = ['model', 'vehicle_colour', 'vehicle_number']
Where the form AddVehicleForm allowed me to send the parameter as shown by typing form = AddVehicleForm(VehicleBrand.objects.filter(brand=brand).first()) in my views.py, but then when I wanted to save my form I needed to create another form in the forms.py without taking any query which is shown in AddVehicleFormPost.
Then i casually did,
if request.method == "POST":
form = AddVehicleFormPost(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
In my views.py...

Here you have a nice tutorial on how to create dependent fields, you need to understand what's going on on the Server, and what's going on on the Client

Set values for form field by query using filter

I want to set the item in dropdown using the query in the form. I want to add employee and the select company which using filter Is_Del= 0. I do not know how to set values for the drop down and where to write this query.
I tried to put in Forms.py, but it is not working.
This is form.py
class EmployeeCreateForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Employee
fields = ('Emp_Name','Emp_company','Emp_Dept','Emp_Join_Date', 'Emp_End_Date')
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super(EmployeeCreateForm, self).clean()
Emp_Name = cleaned_data.get('Emp_Name')
Emp_company = cleaned_data.get('Emp_company')
Emp_Dept = cleaned_data.get('Emp_Dept')
Emp_Join_Date = cleaned_data.get('Emp_Join_Date')
Emp_End_Date = cleaned_data.get('Emp_End_Date')
return cleaned_data
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(EmployeeCreateForm,self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['Emp_company'].queryset = Company.objects.filter(Is_Del=0)
and below is my view.py
class EmployeeCraeteView(LoginRequiredMixin,SuccessMessageMixin,CreateView):
model=Employee
form = EmployeeCreateForm
success_message = " Employee Craeted successfully!"
success_url="../../company/all-companies"
template_name = 'employee_form.html'
fields =[
'Emp_Name','Emp_company','Emp_Dept','Emp_Join_Date',
'Emp_End_Date'
]
companies= Company.objects.filter(Is_Del=0)
def form_valid(self,form):
form.instance.Emp_Crt_By = self.request.user
if form.cleaned_data['Emp_Join_Date'] >= form.cleaned_data['Emp_End_Date']:
form.add_error('Emp_End_Date', 'Joining date should be less than Ending date')
return self.form_invalid(form)
return super(EmployeeCraeteView, self).form_valid(form)
I want to show only this companies in the form which are filtered by Is_Del =0

Your EmployeeCreateView is wrong:
Remove the attributes form, fields and companies
Add form_class = EmployeeCreateForm.
The reason is that form doesn't do anything in a CreateView (see here). To use a custom form class, you need to pass it to form_class.
Your CreateView was dynamically creating the form using a modelform_factory with the fields you defined (if you hadn't added those you'd have seen your mistake immediately) and so your EmployeeCreateForm is never instantiated.

get a multiple choice queryset in Django view and save it

I have a multiple choice field with a foreign key. I want to save which keeper was attending a training session and I want to list all keepers as a multiple choice field.
class AddAttendance(forms.ModelForm):
attendanceKeeper = Attendance.objects.only("keeper","present").all()
keeperValues = Attendance.objects.values_list("keeper__id", flat=True).distinct()
keeper = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple, queryset=Keeper.objects.filter(id__in=keeperValues, status=1))
class Meta:
model = Attendance
fields = ('keeper',)
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(AddAttendance, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.initial["keeper"] = Keeper.objects.all()
However my problem is, I am not familiar how to handle a queryset in the view and how to loop through it and to save every instance with the value True or False.
I always get the value error that a queryset cannot be assigned
"Attendance.keeper" must be a "Keeper" instance
Can you help me how I access the queryset values and save them
def new_attendance(request, team_pk, package_pk):
if request.method == "POST":
form = AddAttendance(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
for item in form:
attendance = item.save(commit=False)
attendance.keeper = get_object_or_404(AddAttendance.keeper)
attendance.team = get_object_or_404(Team, pk=team_pk)
attendance.created_date = timezone.now()
attendance.save()
return redirect(reverse('select_package', args=[package_pk, team_pk]))
else:
form = AddAttendance()
return render(request, 'attendance/new_attendance.html', {'form': form})
In the end I want to match keeper from the queryset and save True/False into the field present in my model
class Attendance(models.Model):
session = models.ForeignKey(Session)
keeper = models.ForeignKey(Keeper)
team = models.ForeignKey(Team)
present = models.BooleanField()
created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
edited_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

You don't want a multiple choice field; you want a single choice. Only one keeper can be associated with each Attendance object.
You are doing a bunch of strange and unnecessary things here. You should remove most of this code, and use the ModelChoiceField which is the default for a ForeignKey. You don't want a checkbox widget either, since again that is for multiple choices; perhaps a radiobutton would be suitable.
class AddAttendance(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Attendance
fields = ('keeper',)
widgets = {'keeper': forms.RadioSelect}
# remove the __init__ and the field definitions, you don't need them
...
form = AddAttendance(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
attendance = item.save(commit=False)
attendance.team = get_object_or_404(Team, pk=team_pk)
attendance.created_date = timezone.now()
attendance.save()
return redirect(reverse('select_package', args=[package_pk, team_pk]))
There's no need to set the keeper explicitly in the view, since that's what the form is doing.

Django MultpleSelectionField usage and error

I have the following code
models.py
fitness_choices = (('wl', 'Weight Loss'), ('ft', 'Firming and Toning'),
('yo', 'Yoga'), ('ot', 'Others'), )
periods_to_train = (('da', 'Daily'), ('ft', 'Few Times A Week'),
('oa', 'Once A Week'), )
class Fitness(models.Model):
fitness_goals = models.CharField(max_length=80, choices=fitness_choices)
training_periods = models.CharField(max_length=5, choices=periods_to_train)
forms.py
class FitnessForm(ModelForm):
fitness_goals = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
choices=fitness_choices, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)
training_periods = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
choices=DAYS_OF_WEEK, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple)
class Meta:
model = Fitness
views.py
from apps.services.forms import FitnessForm
def fitness(request):
""" Creating a Fitness RFQ """
fitness_rfq_form = FitnessForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
fitness_rfq_form = FitnessForm(request.POST)
if fitness_rfq_form.is_valid():
obj = fitness_rfq_form.save(commit=False)
obj.user = request.user
obj.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('home'))
context = {'fitness_rfq_form': fitness_rfq_form}
return render(request, 'services/fitness_rfq.html', context)
But when i am trying to submit i am getting the validation error as below
Select a valid choice. [u'wl', u'ft'] is not one of the available choices.
Select a valid choice. [u'0', u'1'] is not one of the available choices.
So why it was showing above validation error even though we have mentioned it as MultiplechoiceField in ModelForm ?

You should not specify choices in the model field... this is the part that is failing validation.
Your form is working fine and the result of the multiple choice field is, of course, a list of selected choices. But then your model field is expecting a single value from the choices.
If you want to store the list of selected choices in a CharField you need to convert them to a string first, perhaps via json.dumps
