Django - Multiple duplicate Boolean values in form - django-views

Question

I use HTMX to allow the a user to add multiple documents to upload, each document has a Boolean field and I cannot get the value from the Boolean field correctly. I'd want to get a list of can_share so I can loop over them in order to save each with it's corresponding document, Ideally can_share = document_form.cleaned_data.getlist('can_share')
can_share = document_form.cleaned_data['can_share']
returns only one True/False value even if there are multiple instances.
can_share = request.POST.getlist('can_share')
returns nothing if the checkbox is not selected, even though I have tried to set the initial to False.
forms.py
class RequestDocumentForm(forms.ModelForm):
can_share = forms.BooleanField(initial=False, required=False)
class Meta:
model = RequestDocument
fields = ['document', 'can_share']
widgets = {
'document': ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': False, 'required': False}),
}
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(RequestDocumentForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.helper = FormHelper()
self.helper.form_tag = False
self.helper.disable_csrf = True
self.helper.layout = layout.Layout(
Div(
Div(
Div(Field('document'), css_class='col-md-11', ),
Div(Field('can_share'), css_class='col-md-1', ),
css_class='row',
),
),
)
