Hi Malcolm,
I'm building my forms in a file called forms.py. This is how I populate the
choice list:
CLIENT_CHOICES = [
('', 'Select Client'),
]
clients = CustomerMaster.objects.all().order_by('customer_name')
for client in clients:
CLIENT_CHOICES.extend([(client.id, client.customer_name)])
This is how I build my form:
class CreateForm(forms.Form):
client = forms.ChoiceField(choices=CLIENT_CHOICES)
It sounds like I am doing what you mentioned below. How should I be doing
this?
Thanks!
Raj
