I'm trying to override concept queryset in my child form, to get a custom list concepts based on the area got from request.POST, here is my list of concepts, which i need to filter based on the POST request, this lists is a fk of my child form (InvoiceDetail). is it possible to have these filters?
after doing some test when I pass the initial data as the documentation says initial=['concept'=queryset_as_dict]
, it always returns all the concepts, but i print the same in the view and its ok the filter, but is not ok when i render in template, so I was reading that I need to use some BaseInlineFormset. so when I test I obtained different errors:
django.core.exceptions.ValidationError: ['ManagementForm data is missing or has been tampered with']
'InvoiceDetailFormFormSet' object has no attribute 'fields'
so here is my code: models.py
class ConceptDetail(CreateUpdateMixin): # here, is custom list if area='default' only returns 10 rows.
name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
area = models.ForeignKey('procedure.Area')
class Invoice(ClusterableModel, CreateUpdateMixin): # parentForm
invoice = models.SlugField(max_length=15)
class InvoiceDetail(CreateUpdateMixin): # childForm
tax = models.FloatField()
concept = models.ForeignKey(ConceptDetail, null=True, blank=True) # fk to override using custom queryset
invoice = models.ForeignKey('Invoice', null=True, blank=True)
views.py
class CreateInvoiceProcedureView(LoginRequiredMixin, PermissionRequiredMixin, CreateView):
template_name = 'invoice/invoice_form.html'
model = Invoice
permission_required = 'invoice.can_check_invoice'
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = None
form = InvoiceForm(request=request)
# initial initial=[{'tax': 16, }] removed
invoice_detail_form = InvoiceDetailFormSet(request.POST, instance=Invoice,
request=request)
return self.render_to_response(
self.get_context_data(
form=form,
invoice_detail_form=invoice_detail_form
)
)
forms.py
class BaseFormSetInvoice(BaseInlineFormSet):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
# call first to retrieve kwargs values, when the class is instantiated
self.request = kwargs.pop("request")
super(BaseFormSetInvoice, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.queryset.concept = ConceptDetail.objects.filter(
Q(area__name=self.request.POST.get('area')) | Q(area__name='default')
)
class InvoiceForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Invoice
fields = ('invoice',)
class InvoiceDetailForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = InvoiceDetail
fields = ('concept',)
InvoiceDetailFormSet = inlineformset_factory(Invoice, InvoiceDetail,
formset=BaseFormSetInvoice,
form=InvoiceDetailForm,
extra=1)
How can i fix it?, what do i need to read to solve this problem, I tried to debug the process, i didn't find answers. i try to do this:
def FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(FooForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['concept'].queryset = ConceptDetail.objects.filter(area__name='default')
In a inlineformset_factory how can do it?.
After a lot of tests, my solution is override the formset before to rendering, using get_context_data.
