Django Form: MultipleChoiceField and How To Have Choices From Model Example
Its been long time after my last post. During my development in Django, I encountered this issue, where I don't know how to assign tuple value to choice argument in Django MultipleChoiceField. So here I would like to share on how to do this. Here are some information on the environment for this code: Django 1.6.1 doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/forms/fields/#multiplechoicefield Then looks into the forms.py: #1 import the models which use for MultipleChoiceField from TestChoice.models import Test #2 create a static CHOICES variable to hole this tuple, you can perform any normal Django query here. TEST_CHOICES = [[x.id, x.name] for x in Test.objects.all()] #3 If you would like to add extra choices, then you can do the following: TEST_CHOICES.insert(0, ['', "Empty"]) #4 The form field should looks like below, (required=False, only if you want this field to be optional) class TestForm(forms.Form): test= forms.MultipleChoiceField
