Assuming that 'groupA' is a model field, there's no such property as
'selections.groupA', because as you've stated, selections is a
queryset - ie a collection of model instances, not a single one.
However in general you'd be better off using Django's forms framework,
which outputs fields for you with all the correct attributes selected.
