Form Relationships, Multiple Models Using a loop?

2010-06-16 Thread Erich
omething very basic, but I just can't wrap my head around what. So, I just need to link the descriptions (which get iterated and displayed just fine) to the form fields that get displayed with them, so I can write the responses to the db. I hope this isn't info overkill. Thanks in advance.

Inline FormSets work great for somethings that I'm doing, but to solve the problem that I had originally I passed a variable to the template that i specified as a value in a hidden field. I don't know if that is bad form or not, but it's working. On Jul 13, 4:39 pm, Erich wro
