I want to output the value from my Models Name column using forms.ModelChoiceField. I have read a lot of documentation on the subject but its proving difficult to achieve the desired results!
Here is my code.
I have this form:
forms.py
from django import forms
from asset_db.models import Profiles
class SubmitJob(forms.Form):
material_id = forms.CharField(max_length=8)
workflow = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Profiles.objects.distinct('name'))
start_datepicker = forms.CharField(max_length=12)
end_datepicker = forms.CharField(max_length=12)
This model:
class Profiles(models.Model):
id = models.DecimalField(6).auto_creation_counter
name = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
target_path = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
target_profile = models.TextField(max_length=1024, default='null')
package_type = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
video_naming_convention = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
image_naming_convention = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
package_naming_convention = models.CharField(max_length=256, default='null')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Here is the HTML output:
<p><label for="id_workflow">Workflow:</label> <select id="id_workflow" name="workflow" required>
<option value="" selected="selected">---------</option>
<option value="2">Amazon</option>
<option value="1">Test</option>
</select></p>
I want to know how to change the value of "value" to the column "name" in my model, for example:
<p><label for="id_workflow">Workflow:</label> <select id="id_workflow" name="workflow" required>
<option value="" selected="selected">---------</option>
<option value="Amazon">Amazon</option>
<option value="Test">Test</option>
</select></p>
Thanks in advance.
