Question

I have a django model like this:

class Something(models.Model):
    attr1 = models.IntegerField()
    attr2 = models.IntegerField()
    attr3 = models.IntegerField()

And I want to make a form to create Something objects, but I want to do it using a WizardForm, so I split the ‘big form’ into two forms, like this:

class Form1(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Something
        exclude = ('atrr3',)


class Form2(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Something
        fields = ('atrr3',)

So both together make the complete model form.
So here goes my question: is there a way to save them both together and create a single Something object out of them?

Answer 1

After a lot of googling I found the answer to my question. I’ll post it for anyone that has the same problem:

If you have more than one form and you need to combine them to create objects of a model, you can do something like this:

data = {}
# being list_form a iterable list of forms
for form in list_form:
    data.update(form.cleaned_data)
Something.objects.create(**data)

I think is a simple and pretty good solution.
