Question

Within my form.data I have a QueryDict.

    QueryDict: <QueryDict: {u'deal_status_2': [u'1'], 
                     u'deal_status_1': [u'2'], u'subject': [u'wdes']}>  

deal_status_1 and deal_status_2 are both dynamically generated as part of the form through jquery.

Nowhere else on the POST form could I find them but in form.data.

Which is fine, now I need the values.

So I thought it would be great if I could filter on QueryDict like this

var array = form.data.filter(???__istartswith('deal_status_')

and get an array of all the dynamically generated fields I need to iterate through and grab the value from.

Is this possible? what do I put for ??? in there?

Answer 1

No. It’s not possible.

Try this:

my_data = []
for q, v in form.data.items():
    if q.startswith('deal_status_'):
        my_data += v
