Django:在表单模板中更改<select>选项时释放表单属性

Question

在我的Django应用程序中，一个模板，它手动显示来自Model的表单字段。在这个模板中，我有几个字段，这些字段是在我的forms.py中设置的。其中一个选项是元组('new','New...')，当它被选中时会出现一个弹出窗口(Bootstrap )，用户可以添加一个选项，该选项将添加到select的选择中。

但是，当表单被提交时，我有一个错误，因为该字段的表单键缺失：KeyError: 'country'，如果打印该表单，则国家键就没有了：

{'genotype': '?', 'complete_genome': False, 'seq_tech': '?', 'isolation_source': 'te', 'mol_type': '?', 'NT_seq': 'TTG', 'source': '?', 'host': 'chicken', 'species': 'A', 'isolate': 'te1', 'sourceLink': '', 'subtyping_ref': '?', 'PK_idSequence': 'test', 'strain': 'te1_strain', 'comment': '', 'subtype': '?'}

我的forms.py

UNKNOWN_START_LIST = [('?','?')]
NEW_END_LIST = [('new','New...')]

class SequenceForm(ModelForm):

    # create the form fields
    PK_idSequence = CharField(max_length=15, label='Sequence ID')

    # get the existing country values in the database
    tmpCountries = sorted(list(set([seq.country for seq in Sequence.objects.all() if seq.country is not None and seq.country != '?'])))
    countryChoices = UNKNOWN_START_LIST + [(tmpCountry, tmpCountry) for tmpCountry in tmpCountries] + NEW_END_LIST

    # the countryChoices will be [('?', '?'), ('France', 'France'), ('Germany', 'Germany'), ('Japan', 'Japan'), ('USA', 'USA'), ('new', 'New...')]
    country = ChoiceField(choices = countryChoices,
                    initial='?', 
                    required = False)

    # ... more stuffs


    class Meta:
        model = Sequence
        fields = ['PK_idSequence', 'genotype', 'subtype', 'host', 'country', 'complete_genome', 'seq_tech', 'NT_seq', 'col_date',
                'isolation_source', 'isolate', 'strain', 'species', 'mol_type', 'subtyping_ref', 'source', 'sourceLink', 'comment']

    # custom clean form for Sequence    
    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = super(SequenceForm, self).clean()

        # where the error is raised
        if cleaned_data['country'] is not None:
            cleaned_data['country'] = cleaned_data.get('country').title()

我的template.html

        <div class="col">

    <div class="row">
        <div class="col">
            <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

我的jQuery.js

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
/* ############### Country dropdown select ############### */

    // in upload form if Country dropdown is set to New... create a modal to get the new country
    $("#id_country").change(function(){
        var selectedValue = $(this).find("option:selected").attr("value");
        switch (selectedValue){
            case "new":
                $('#modal_new_country').modal('show');
                break;
        }
    }); 

    // Add the new Country to the select options
    $("#new_country_button").click(function() {
        var newCountry = $("#new_country_text").val();
        newCountry = newCountry.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + newCountry.substr(1);
        $('#id_country').append('<option value="'+newCountry+'" selected="selected">'+newCountry+'</option>');
        $('#modal_new_country').modal('hide');
    });

    // cancel button for modal Country set selected option to '?'
    $("#new_country_cancel_button").click(function() {
        $('#id_country').val('?');
        $('#modal_new_country').modal('hide');
    });

})

我想问题来自于select id_country中的新值不是来自form的初始选项的一部分，我如何解决这个问题？

Answer 1

如果可以的话，我找到了一种将新的<option>添加到<select> #id_country的方法。在我的forms.py中，我将ChoiceField替换为CharField，其中小部件是放置countryChoices的forms.Select

country = ChoiceField(choices = countryChoices, initial='?', required = False)

通过

country = CharField(max_length=50, widget=forms.Select(choices=countryChoices), required=False)

因此，由于country属性是一个CharField，因此不再存在由invalid_choice引发的验证错误，并且form cleaned_data现在有了键'country'的新值。
