Struggling with formsets

[Werner Brand]

I cannot seem to figure this, although I suspects it is really elementary:

I have two models:

class Employee(models.Model):

id_number = models.CharField(max_length=13)

surname = models.CharField(max_length=100)

name =  models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Payslip(models.Model):

surname = models.CharField(max_length=100)
name =  models.CharField(max_length=100)

salary = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=2)

In my forms:

class PayslipForm(ModelForm):

class Meta:

model = Payslip

fields = ['surname', 'name', 'salary']

PayslipFormSet = modelformset_factory(Payslip, extra=0)

In views.py:

def Payslip(request):

employee = Employee.objects.all()

formset = PayslipFormSet(queryset=employee)

context = {'formset': formset}

return render(request, 'file.html', context)

def PayslipSubmit(request):

f = PayslipFormSet(request.POST)

if f.is_valid():

f.save()

return HttpResponse('Submitted')

else:

return HttpResponse(f.errors) 

The problem is that when I submit I get the following each form in formset:

• id
• Select a valid choice. That choice is not one of the available choices.

I hope someone can help!

Hello,

Can we have the template?

Did you rendered the hidden fields id of your forms ?

Dump (by printing) the request.POST informations to see
if you received any "id" :)

Thanks for the reponse! My template looks like this:

<form action="PayslipSubmit/" method="post">
{{ formset.management_form }}
<table>
{{ formset }}
</table>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Here is the print request.POST:

form-1-salaryform-MAX_NUM_FORMSform-0-surnameform-0-nameform-TOTAL_FORMSform-MIN_NUM_FORMSform-0-idform-1-nameform-INITIAL_FORMScsrfmiddlewaretokenform-0-salaryform-1-idform-1-surname

Thanks!
