I need that my FilterView uses a diferent model that the View uses, it is possible?

Using Django Forms & APIs

this is my view:

class IndexPedimentoView(LoginRequiredMixin, FilterView):
    template_name = 'pedimento/index.html'
    model = VPedGuardado
    paginate_by = 20
    context_object_name = 'pedimentos'
    filterset_class = PedimentosFilter

and this is my filter.py:

import django_filters

from validador_modular.models import VInicioPedim, VEstado, VPedGuardado, VTipoOperacion

pedimentos_fields = {
    'aduana_de_despacho': {'label': 'Aduana:', 'placeholder': 'Aduana de Despacho'},
    'patente_autorizacion': {'label': 'Autorización:', 'placeholder': 'Patente Autorización'},
    'numero_pedimento': {'label': 'Pedimento:', 'placeholder': 'Pedimento'},
    'pedimento_guardado__dato_general__tipo_operacion': {'label': 'Tipo de Operación:', 'placeholder': 'Tipo de Operación'},
    'pedimento_guardado__estado': {'label': 'Estado', 'placeholder': 'Estado'},
    'mes': {'label': 'Mes', 'placeholder': 0},
    'ano': {'label': 'Año', 'placeholder': 0},
}



class PedimentosFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
    mes = django_filters.NumberFilter(field_name='created_at', lookup_expr='month')
    ano = django_filters.NumberFilter(field_name='created_at', lookup_expr='year')
    # tipo_operacion = django_filters.ModelChoiceFilter(queryset = VTipoOperacion.objects.all())
    # estado = django_filters.ModelChoiceFilter(queryset = VEstado.objects.all())

    class Meta:
        model = VInicioPedim
        fields = list(pedimentos_fields.keys())

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(PedimentosFilter, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        for field_name in self.get_fields():
            self.filters[field_name].label = pedimentos_fields[field_name]['label']
            self.filters[field_name].field.widget.attrs.update({
                'class': 'form-control', 'placeholder': pedimentos_fields[field_name]['placeholder']
            })

            # If it's an input field, change it so that it uses contains
            if self.filters[field_name].__class__.__name__ == 'CharFilter':
                self.filters[field_name].lookup_expr = 'icontains'

First, when you’re posting code (or templates, tracebacks, etc), enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted. (I’ve taken the liberty of editing your post this time.)

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking here. Can you provide more detail (and be more specific) about what you’re trying to accomplish?

yes of course, what happens is that I need to use filters in a view but the model that I am going to use for the filters is not the same model that the view uses, if you have any questions you can tell me

You need to be a lot more specific here - like posting the relevent models and explaining how that filter for a different model is going to affect the model being rendered by your view.
