Form handling views

Using Django Forms & APIs
1

I have two forms:

class FarmerForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Farmer
fields = ‘all’
widgets = {
‘farmerName’: forms.TextInput(attrs={‘class’: ‘form-control’}),
‘dob’: forms.DateInput(attrs={‘class’: ‘form-control’, ‘type’: ‘date’}),
‘gender’: forms.Select(attrs={‘class’: ‘form-control’}),
‘phone’: forms.TextInput(attrs={‘class’: ‘form-control’, ‘type’: ‘tel’}),
‘email’: forms.EmailInput(attrs={‘class’: ‘form-control’}),

    }

class FarmForm(forms.ModelForm):
farmer = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Farmer.objects.all(), widget=forms.HiddenInput())

class Meta:
    model = Farm
    fields = '__all__'
    widgets = {
        'farmName': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
        'farmSize': forms.NumberInput(attrs={'class': 'form-control', 'type': 'number'}),
        'landUnit': forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
        'methodOfAcquisition': forms.Select(attrs={'class': 'form-control'}),
    }

I have a view for saving new instances of FarmerFom and FarmForm and storing them in respective Farmer and Farm tables in the database. These forms are linked and neither one can be submitted without the other. However, neither the FarmerForm nor the FarmForm are saved when I click save button.
Could someone help me identify the issue in my view?

def farm_setup_farmer_view(request):

if request.method == 'POST':
    farmer_form = FarmerForm(request.POST)
    farm_form = FarmForm(request.POST)

    if farmer_form.is_valid() and farm_form.is_valid():
        with transaction.atomic():

            farmer_instance = farmer_form.save()
            farm_instance = farm_form.save(commit=False)
            farm_instance.farmer = farmer_instance
            farm_instance.save()
            # Optionally, you can add a success message using Django messages framework
            # messages.success(request, 'Farmer details saved successfully.')
            return redirect('list_farmers_view')  # Redirect to the 'farm_setup_farm' URL
else:
    farmer_form = FarmerForm()
    farm_form = FarmForm()

    print(f"FarmerForm errors: {farmer_form.errors}")
    print(f"FarmForm errors: {farm_form.errors}")


return render(request, 'farm_setup_farmer.html', {'farmer_form': farmer_form, 'farm_form': farm_form})

Reminder: When you post code here, please enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then the code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted. Please edit your post for clarity.

Also, it appears as if your post may have gotten truncated. You might want to review your post for completeness.

If you’re working with two different forms on the same page within the same form tag, then you need to use the prefix attribute with one (or both) of the forms so that Django can identify what input goes with which form.
