Hi, You will need to go step by step. First you ask the user for the reviewer with a form. Then the user has to submit the form. You manage your input form and see if the data for that reviewer already exists, if it does, then you load initial data in the second form. Now you redirect the user to the second form, empty or loaded. This is the usual HTML web application flow, not related to Django.
If you want things to happen dynamically, you will have to use AJAX, you can use any JS library you like.
