I'm crating fields in a for loop and storing them in a list in a Django form. When trying to place the fields in the HTML file, it appears to be printing the object.
Something like this: <django.forms.fields.IntegerField object at ...>
My HTML looks like this:
{% for i in form.list %}
{{i}}
{% endfor %}
This is how I create the list:
l1 = [] #List that contains names
l2 = [] #List that contains other names
result = {}
for i in l1:
for j in l2:
v_name = i + '_' + j
result[v_name] = forms.IntegerField()
How can I convert that string to an actual input?

You can add fields to the self.fields dictionary in Form.__init__ to dynamically add fields to a form.
class MyForm(forms.Form):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for i in l1:
for j in l2:
v_name = i + '_' + j
self.fields[v_name] = forms.IntegerField()
This can be used like a regular form, or iterated over
{{ form }}
{% for field in form %}
{{ field }}
{% endfor %}
