In my Django app, I have a page.html that includes forms from multiple models like so:
# models.py
class OneModel(models.Model):
foo = models.CharField(...)
bar = models.CharField(...)
# forms.py
class OneForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = OneModel
On save, in addition to the POST data, I add a prefix to all the forms, for example:
form1 = OneForm(prefix=OneForm.Meta.model._meta.module_name)
Then, I send the POST request to be saved and send the next data to the __init__ form:
# views.py
form_data = {'foo': 'fo-fo-fo', # from request.POST
'bar': 'bar-bar-bar'} # -//-//-
form1 = OneForm(form_data) # without prefix
Afterwards, when the template is being put together, I get input from the form with my data (fo-fo-fo, bar-bar-bar), but without the prefix in input names, which is not what I want.
But if I add the prefix in the __init__ part instead I get back the form without my data:
# views.py
form1 = OpenForm(prefix=OneForm.Meta.model._meta.module_name, form_data)
How can I get the results of the form with both the data I need and the prefix I added?
