How to use two different Django Form at the same template?

Question

My forms.py:

class AlertForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model=Alert
    fields = (\'high\',\'medium\', \'user\')
    widgets = {
        \'user\':  forms.         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that on your forms the fields have the same names.

request.POST is a dictionary-like object. So it only contains the name/value pairs from the request. If the field names are the same on both of the forms then when you call

alert_form = AlertForm(request.POST)
notifier_form = NotifierForm(request.POST)

they are initialized with the same values. To resolve this make the names to be unique between your two forms. For example prefix all the field names on the AlertForm with "alert_".
