Hello,
I have a challenge using the modelformset_factory module ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/forms/modelforms/) and invite your advice. I can automatically generate a pre-populated webpage with a select dataset from the database, but the generated template creates two sets of fields on my form. One entry has the pre-populated dataset, while the second set is blank. The challenge is any attempt to update the retrieved dataset, leads to the creation of a new (*unnecessary*) entry in my database. Any assistance on how to resolve this is most welcome. Details of my setup are highlighted below: A) PIP FREEZE (tickets) michael@Data-Wrangler tickets % pip freeze asgiref==3.5.2 backports.zoneinfo==0.2.1 certifi==2022.6.15 charset-normalizer==2.0.12 crispy-bootstrap5==0.6 Django==3.2.13 django-cors-headers==3.10.1 Django-crispy-forms==1.14.0 django-webpack-loader==1.6.0 djangorestframework==3.13.1 idna==3.3 image==1.5.33 importlib-resources==5.4.0 pdfkit==1.0.0 phonenumbers==8.12.51 Pillow==9.2.0 PyQRCode==1.2.1 pytz==2022.1 requests==2.27.1 six==1.16.0 sqlparse==0.4.2 typing_extensions==4.1.1 urllib3==1.26.9 uWSGI==2.0.20 zipp==3.6.0 (tickets) michael@Data-Wrangler tickets % B) VIEW @login_required def eventupdate(request, event_id): try: status = ClientProfile.objects.filter(username=str(request.user).strip()). values('operational') except: status = False if (status[0]['operational']) != True: return render(request, 'website/dashboard.html') context = {} ProductFormSet = modelformset_factory(Product, fields = ('name', 'image', 'visible' , 'brief', 'details', 'venue', 'date', 'time', 'promoters', 'advance_ticket', 'gate_ticket','regular_ticket', 'vip_ticket', 'under18_ticket',)) if request.method == 'POST': formset = ProductFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, queryset =Product.objects.filter(pk=int(event_id))) if formset.is_valid(): formset.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('website-store')) else: formset = ProductFormSet(queryset=Product.objects.filter(pk=int(event_id))) return render(request, template_name='website/eventupdate.html', context={ 'formset': formset, 'status': status, 'event': event_id }) 1.
