I have run into an interesting problem with newforms. I am trying to
create an arbitrary number of fields on a form based on model data.
This works fine.
class SonglistForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(SonglistForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for song in Song.objects.all()[:100]:
self.fields['song_%s' % song.id] =
forms.BooleanField(label='%s
(%s)' % (song.title, " & ".join([str(artist) for artist in
song.artists.all()])))
The problem occurs in the template. I am trying to differentiate
these fields from the other normal fields on the form for presentation
purposes. I have tried assigning a custom property to each of the
dynamic fields.
field = forms.BooleanField(label='%s (%s)' % (song.title, " &
".join([str(artist) for artist in song.artists.all()])))
field.is_song = True
self.fields['song_%s' % song.id] = field
However, this custom property is not accessible in the template. How
can I differentiate these dynamic fields from the others in the
template (with limited access to Python code)?
