Django: Combining textbox and dropdown from values stored in database in Django forms












0















I've two models User and Company. I have created two custom forms from these models and showing in the same template for signup.



Logic is like, if the company already exists in the database then it shouldn't create a new record in the Company but just assign the existing company to the user. Otherwise, create a new company and assign to the user.



For the convenience, on the signup template, I want to show the dropdown with all the existing company names from the company table. So that either user can select the name from the list or write his own company.



Following is my code files



signup.html



{{ company_info_form.company_name|as_crispy_field }}        
{{ company_info_form.company_address|as_crispy_field }}


forms.py



class CompanyInformationForm(ModelForm):
company_name = forms.CharField(label = popover_html('Company Name', 'Company Name'))
company_address = forms.CharField(label = popover_html('Company Address', 'Compnay Address'))

class Meta:
model = CompanyInformation
fields = (
"company_name",
"company_address"
)


views.py (for GET request):



form = RegistrationForm()
company_info_form = CompanyInformationForm()
args = {"form": form, "company_info_form": company_info_form}
return render(request, "registration/signup.html", args)


I assume I don't need to do many changes if I can make a combo of textbox and dropdown both. As I will read the value to apply the logic.



P.S. Let me know if you wish more information. Thank you.
