Hello mates

[frank galan]

Im catching a model in a select, using ajax to request, so Im receiving an error I can,t solve

Im get an empty dict, the error is :

error: "'str' object has no attribute 'toJSON'".

Its occurrs when  I try to print  the data in console

I created a function into the model to convert this in dict, late I define the view  and create the ajax function. You will see the code below:

Thanks in advance
