How do I Output both "id_no" and "name" [id_no - name] combined in dropdown select form. Can it be done directly to the form using {{form}} only.
Model:
class Employee(models.Model):
id_no = models.CharField(unique = True,max_length=6)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
Form:
class EmployeeForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Employee
fields = __all__
Yes, it be done directly to the form using {{form}} implementing str :
class Employee(models.Model):
id_no = models.CharField(unique = True,max_length=6)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.id_no} - {self.name}"
But not on EmployeeForm because this form doesn't have a drop down to pick an employee. You will see it on a modelFrom for a form with a ForeignKey to employee.
