Dynamic choices for Django SelectMultiple Widget
- by PhilGo20
I'm building a form (not modelForm) where i'd like to use the SelectMultiple Widget to display choices based on a query done during the init of the form.
I can think of a few way to do this but I am not exactly clear on the right way to do it. I see different options.
I get the "choices" I should pass to the widget in the form init but I am not sure how I should pass them.
class NavigatorExportForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self,user, app_id, *args,**kwargs):
super (NavigatorExportForm,self ).__init__(*args,**kwargs) # populates the form
language_choices = Navigator.admin_objects.get(id=app_id).languages.all().values_list('language', flat=True)
languages = forms.CharField(max_length=2, widget=forms.SelectMultiple(choices=???language_choices))
