For loop on form not functing properly - django

Question

I have a feature that allows users to upload multiple images to their blog but it is not working correctly. When a user uploads multiple images only one of them is uploaded to the postgres db.
view
def DetailPostView(request, pk):
model = Post
post = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)
if request.method == 'POST':
test = PostImagesForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
files = request.FILES.getlist('images')
if test.is_valid():
for f in files:
instance = test.save(commit=False)
instance.post = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)
instance.save()
else:
print(instance.errors)
postgallery = PostImages.objects.filter(post_id=post)
context = {
'post':post, 'PostImagesForm':PostImagesForm, 'postgallery':postgallery
}
return render(request, 'blog/post_detail.html', context)
form
class PostImagesForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = PostImages
fields = ('images',)
widgets = {
'images': forms.ClearableFileInput(attrs={'multiple': True}),
}
you can see i am getting the list of files via the files = request.FILES.getlist('images') then running a for loop on the contents.
If I break the code in the stack trace I can see that the two files are in the list so i am very confused on why it is not properly iterating though the list and uploading each file to the db.
Update
Took a look into the docs and found a section on multi image upload and the docs are doing it the same way I am. Still very confused.

Answer 1

I believe the issue was the because I was not passing the current image into the model so it only uploaded the first image.
Solution
if request.method == 'POST':
for f in request.FILES.getlist('images'):
test = PostImagesForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if test.is_valid():
instance = test.save(commit=False)
instance.post = Post.objects.get(pk=pk)
instance.images = f
instance.save()
