Hi
I am generating a page with a variable list of categories (shown in a
Bootstrap accordion control) displayed as checkboxes. So a user may
select any or all of the checkboxes to categorise an article.
I did that just as a wireframe/demo. Trouble is I didn't think how that
might work with Django's form processing, as I now have a variable list
of form fields to deal with.
Can it work with Django forms? Or should I go on my own way and analyse
the POST data to try and capture the selections and save them.
I'm new at this so normal excuses for idiocy...

You don't want a variable number of fields, you just want a single MultipleChoiceField field using a CheckboxSelectMultiple widget.
