Question

I have a querylist that returns possible solutions to a problem. The list returns the results that I am expecting. I am trying to add a checkbox form that correlates to each item on the querylist. Its not too fancy, I just need to check the box and update the model. I have two models:

149 class TaskSolution(models.Model):                                                                                                           
150     solution          = models.TextField()

204 class MarkedSolved(ModelForm):                                                                                                          
205     class Meta:                                                                                                                             
206         model = MarkedSolved      

Now in my View I have the following queryset:

solution_list = TaskSolution.objects.filter(relatedtask__id=task_id) 

This is fine as it returns the solutions as expected. The issue I am now having is I would Like the MarkSolved form initial value to correlate with the solution_list value.

 393 if request.method == 'POST':                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 394         mark_solved_form = PostMarkedSolved(data=request.POST, instance=solution_task)

Essentially I am looking for a query like this:

select * from markedsolved a, tasksolution b where a.related_solution=b.solutionnumber and a.related_solution=1 and b.solutionnumber=1 and a.related_task_id = 5 and b.relatedtask_id=5;

Where all the values match up from the two models in the queryset. That query returns the exact results I would like, but I am at a loss on now to populate the initial value based on the solution_list results.

Answer 1

I think the model MarkedSolved needs related field to TaskSolution model

replce

related_solution = models.IntegerField(editable=False)

with

related_solution = models.ForeignKeyField(TaskSolution)

Tempalte

   {% for item in solved_list%}
        <input type = "checkbox" name="{{item.id}}" > {{item.solution}}
   {% endfor %}

Views

 if request.method == 'POST':
      for soln in solutions_list: 
         solution_id = request.POST.get(str(soln.id))    
         if solution_id:
            MarkedSolved.objects.create(
             is_solution = True,
             related_task = Task.objects.get(id=task_id),
             related_solution = soln
            )

I didnt tested the above code, but this will gives you the idea
