Django - Altering a Form field into a choices field and populating dynamically
0
In my models I have a char field as per the below:
alerting_tier = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True, null=True)
However in my form I'm pulling external data that I would like to use a choices for this field. My attempt thus far is not showing errors but is not showing a choice field either, its just a textbook.
class DeviceForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Device
fields = ['site', 'switches', 'hostname', 'serial_no','version', 'template', 'model', 'install_date',
'ospf_area','snmp_data','alerting_tier','host_data','solarwinds_id','smartnet','bau',
'smartnet_contract_id','smartnet_contract_start_date','smartnet_contract_end_date','alerting_tier']
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
site_id = kwargs.pop('site_id', None)
device_id = kwargs.pop('device_id', None)
self.is_add = kwargs.pop("is_add", False)
self.blank_site = kwargs.pop("blank_site", False)
super(DeviceForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# get the alerting tiers from solarwinds
swis = solarwinds_conn()
tier_query = """
SELECT
c.Field,
c.Value,
c.DisplayName
FROM
Orion.CustomPropertyValues c
WHERE
Field = 'AlertingTier'
"""
tier_results = swis.query(tier_query)
tiers = tier_results["results"]
tier_options =
for i in tiers:
tier_options.append(i['Value'])
self.fields['alerting_tier'].choices = tier_options
self.fields['alerting_tier'].widget.choices = tier_options
EDIT:
tried the below:
self.fields['alerting_tier'] = forms.Select()
self.fields['alerting_tier'].choices = tier_options
returning error:
'Select' object has no attribute 'get_bound_field'

You need to set the widget to be forms.Select with the choices on the charfield. A charfield expects you to enter text by default... As you'd expect.
