Django multiple input field values with same name

Question

I need some help. How can I handle the form ,with multiple input field values, with same name? and only once view, this actually for basic questions form.. another idea I found this method from https://stackoverflow.com/a/478406/6396981:

relations = request.POST.getlist('relations')

How do I handle it all? Currently I'm doing it with <input type="radio"..., but of course it couldn't work if it has same name in once form. But if I use: <input type="checkbox"..., the answers can be check more than 1 in once question...

Maybe like this:

<input type="radio" name="answer-{{ question.id }}">

How can I get it all in the view?

Solved:

In my test:

{% for question in questions %}
    <input type="hidden" name="question" value="{{ question.id }}/>

    {% for answer in question.get_answers %}
        <input type="radio" name="answer-{{ question.id }}" value={{ answer.score }}>
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

views.py

questions = request.POST.getlist('question')
answers = [request.POST['answer-{}'.format(q)] for q in questions]

And the results of it:

['20', '19', '16', '13', '11', '10', '9', '8', '1']
['5', '2', '3', '4', '1', '4', '4', '2', '2']

This is very unclear. Checkboxes and radio buttons are supposed to have more than one option with the same input name. What exact problem are you experiencing? And why aren't you using the Django forms API? — Daniel Roseman

If I understood you right you need to implement multiple choice? Then you can do in your template this:

{% for answer in answers %}
    <input type="checkbox" name="answer" id="answer{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ answer.id }}">
{% endif %}

Andi in view:

answer = request.POST.getlist('answer')
for el in answer:
    pass
