To get the values from multiple dropdown the method is:
Template(myPage.html):
<select multiple="multiple" name="services" id="services" size="5">
{% for service in services %}
<option value="{{ service.pk }}">{{ service.name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
Views(views.py):
myServices = request.POST.getlist('services')
good luck..!!

Like there are over 600 options. Should I enter service.pk for all 600 options?? – surresh kummar Jun 25 '19 at 05:50

each of the options must have its id(pk), Django by default define the "ID" in this case is "id-> autoincrement integer" – Diego Avila Jun 25 '19 at 12:35
