ChoiceField comparison not working in template

[doom]

Yes, it is part of my Django template.

If so, look at your actual HTML that exists in your browser that was retrieved from the view that renders it.

Yes, I did that. I did include that in my question:

The problem I have is the if-condition breaking. While the form is unbound the condition scope_id == search_form.scope.value is True and the text shows DEBUG: All | 0 | 0

After clicking on any of the other choices, and after the form is submitted, I can confirm that the website shows DEBUG: Print | 1 | 1, which means that {% if scope_id == search_form.scope.value %} (or 1 == 1) should be True, but it isn’t. Why?

By text I mean that part of the template where it is written: DEBUG: {{ scope }} | {{ scope_id }} | {{ search_form.scope.value }}. It’s all rendered on the server. So if this results in DEBUG: Print | 1 | 1, why is {% if scope_id == search_form.scope.value %} then False?
