I added a model to set the form-type to "0" or "1" which corresponds

When I create a new long form and add the following to the form page
template I get the expected answer:
{{app.workshop.type.get_form_type_display}} results in "Long form"
I'm trying to use this syntax to write an if statement that shows or
hides an element based on the form_type. So when I'm in my forms.py
doc I include this:
if self.workshop.type.form_type == '0':
home_address = forms.CharField(
label="Home Street Address",
required=False,
)
Self returns the error "not defined". As does instance, this, etc.
Without seeing the surrounding context, it is difficult to say
what is wrong with the code.
However, I think that an alternative approach might be to declare
a form class for your short form, and then have the long form
inherit from the short form and add the extra fields you want:
class ShortForm(forms.Form):
name = forms.CharField()
class LongForm(ShortForm):
home_address = forms.CharField(
label="Home Street Address",
required=False,
)
In your view, you just create a ShortForm() or LongForm() as
needed. Your template won't need to be aware of the difference.
