    Then you might want two different view functions. Based on the names of your forms they appear to do very different things. Give each its own [`action`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form#attr-action). – ChrisGPT was on strike Jan 21 '22 at 19:15
  • but isnot possible two views with the same url, and i must keep it, both forms in the same url – artiest Jan 21 '22 at 19:17
  • @Chris please how to use it, can you give an example please – artiest Jan 21 '22 at 19:26

    There are a few ways you could proceed. A common option would be to send the request using JavaScript (to unique URLs for each form) instead of refreshing the whole page. But if you really want to keep this all in one view function (which, again, I advise against) you could have a hidden input in each form that specifies which form you're submitting. – ChrisGPT was on strike Jan 21 '22 at 19:50
