If I have two forms:

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

class SocialForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField()
    message = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)

and wanted to use a class based view, and send both forms to the template, is that even possible?

class TestView(FormView):
    template_name = 'contact.html'
    form_class = ContactForm

It seems the FormView can only accept one form at a time. In function based view though I can easily send two forms to my template and retrieve the content of both within the request.POST back.

variables = {'contact_form':contact_form, 'social_form':social_form }
return render(request, 'discussion.html', variables)

Is this a limitation of using class based view (generic views)?

Many Thanks
