How get multiple BooleanFields in a form using Django

Question

I have a form in my site to get a report about some "collective payment". It has 3 main field: Value, date of payment and who paid.

The field "who paid" is a table containing the name of all users and a checkbox.

Currently I'm looping over all users, adding their full names to the table with a single checkbox. But I don't know how to get this data in my form associating it with each user name (just the text).

How can I get multiple BooleanFields in my form ? Is there a way of associate each BooleanField with an user's name?

model.py

from django.db import models

#created_date attibute needs it
from django.utils import timezone
# This Model is a super class "Financial Transaction"
class GroupTransaction(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')
    who_paid = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')
    value = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2)
    justification = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')

    created_date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
    date = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')
    receipt = models.FileField(upload_to='comprovantes', blank=True, null=True)
    its_type = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')

    def __str__(self):
        #INCOMPLETOreturn "%s fez a movimentação financeira de %d para %s no dia " % (self.name, self.restaurant)
        return "%s - %s" % (self.name , self.who_paid)

view.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from deposit.forms import DepositForm,MonthlyDepositForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Create your views here.
@login_required
def deposito(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = DepositForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            HttpResponseRedirect('/historico/')
        else:
            print (str(form.errors.as_data()))
    else:
        form = DepositForm()
        groupForm = MonthlyDepositForm()
    return render(request, 'shell/app_shell.html', {
        'is_deposit' : True,
        'title' : 'Deposit',
        'transaction' : form,
        'groupTransaction' : groupForm,
        'users': User.objects.all()
    })

form.py

class MonthlyDepositForm(forms.ModelForm):
    value = forms.DecimalField()
    date = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={

        }))
    who_paid = forms.BooleanField()

    its_type = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(attrs={'readonly':True}),
                                initial='Deposito Mensal')


    class Meta:
        model = GroupTransaction
        fields = ('value', 'date','who_paid','its_type')

You need to make who_paid a ManyToManyField(User). Then in the form you can set its widget like this:

class Meta:
    model = GroupTransaction
    fields = ('value', 'date','who_paid','its_type')
    widgets = {
        'who_paid': forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(),
    }

That will give you the right structure. Then you can render it manually if you want to change the display.
