Hey,
I have got a choiceField in my form, where I display filtered data. To filter the data I need two arguments. The first one is not a problem, because I can take it directly from an object, but the second one is dynamically generated. Here is some code:
class GroupAdd(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.pid = kwargs.pop('parent_id', None)
super(GroupAdd, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
parent_id = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.HiddenInput)
choices = forms.ChoiceField(
choices = [
[group.node_id, group.name] for group in Objtree.objects.filter(
type_id = ObjtreeTypes.objects.values_list('type_id').filter(name = 'group'),
parent_id = 50
).distinct()] + [[0, 'Add a new one']
],
widget = forms.Select(
attrs = {
'id': 'group_select'
}
)
)
I would like to change the parent_id that is passed into the Objtree.objects.filter. As you can see I tried in the init function, as well with kwargs['initial']['parent_id'] and then calling it with self, but that doesnt work, since its out of scope... it was pretty much my last effort. I need to acccess it either trough the initial parameter or directly trough parent_id field, since it already holds its value (passed trough initial).
Any help is appreciated, as I am running out of ideas.
