ok so I added == to my if statement and independently verified that the values were displaying and are correct. So I was wrong though .id is not .CUSTOMERID because I returned self.name for the customer model it needs to match the strings
so i have {% for e in customers %} {% for d in vms %} {% if e.NAME == d.CUSTOMERID %} <div> {{ e.id }} - {{ e.NAME }} - {{ d.VMNAME }$ {% endif %} <br> e.name - {{ e.NAME }} d.customerid - {{ d.CUSTOMERID }} //I did this to validate I was getting data and the names match when they are displayed but the if statement doesn't display anything. {% endfor %} {% endfor %} -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
