Re: Django Post Issue

The "name" attribute should be on the select tag. E.g:

<select name="customer_id">
  <option value="foo">Foo</option>
</select>

I'm trying to post

customer_id

while generating a combo box with a loop from a database query.

I have the combo box generating and such, but the posted data does not return the customer id. It returns something weird.

<form method='post' action='' id='customers'>
{% csrf_token %}
<select>
{% for item in customer %}
<option value={{ item.customer_id }} name='customer_id'>{{ item.customer_name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
<input type = 'submit' value='Edit'>
</select>
{{ post }}

this is what it returns

<QueryDict: {u'csrfmiddlewaretoken': [u'CpzKrwmZsmfiiNHngNWDFSNxqUoBykYO']}>

def portal(request):
    
    customers = Customer.objects.all()
    
    
    
    if request.method == 'POST':
       vm_groups = Vm_group.objects.all()
       vms = Vm.objects.all()
       selected_customer = request.POST.copy()
       #selected_customer_id = selected_customer['customer_id']
 
       post = selected_customer
       context = Context({'customer': customers, 'vm_groups':vm_groups, 'vms':vms, 'post':post, 
                                                   })
       
       return render(request, 'portal.html', context)
    
    else:
       context = Context({'customer': customers,})
       return render(request, 'portal.html', context)
