Using attribute from a related model django - django

Question

At my work everyone has to plan until they've reached their planning target. To make this easier I'm building a planning tool to plan the activities. All the activities have standard durations which are saved in the PlanningActivity model. Now I want to show a list of all the planned activities with the standard duration and also sum up the total planned time in a week. How can I use strd_duration in my added Planning's? I've tried so much, but nothing seems to work...
models.py
class PlanningActivity(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
is_billable = models.BooleanField()
is_auto_realised = models.BooleanField()
strd_duration = models.PositiveIntegerField()
def __str__(self):
return self.name
class Planning(models.Model):
added_by = models.ForeignKey(
User, related_name='planning_activity', on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING
)
activity = models.ForeignKey(
PlanningActivity, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING
)
date = models.DateField()
note = models.CharField(max_length=255)
def __str__(self):
return str(self.id)
views.py
def home(request):
planning_form = PlanningForm(request.POST)
if request.user.is_authenticated:
planning = Planning.objects.filter(added_by=request.user).order_by('-date')
contracts = UserContract.objects.filter(assigned_user=request.user)
else:
planning = ''
contract = ''
if planning_form.is_valid():
new_planning = planning_form.save(commit=False)
new_planning.added_by = request.user
new_planning.save()
return redirect('/')
else:
planning_form = PlanningForm()
return render(request, 'home.html', {'planning_form': planning_form, 'planning':planning, 'contracts':contracts})
home.html
<table class="table table-striped mt-2">
<thead class="thead-light">
<tr>
<td>Activity</td>
<td>Date</td>
<td>Note</td>
<td>Duration</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
{% for plan in planning %}
<tr>
<td>{{ plan.activity }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.date }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.note }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.activity_id }}</td> <== HERE I WANT TO SHOW strd_duration
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>
</table>

Answer 1

You can access the attribute through the foreign key:
{% for plan in planning %}
<tr>
<td>{{ plan.activity }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.date }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.note }}</td>
<td>{{ plan.activity.strd_duration }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
Note that in the view, you can optimize the number of queries to the database with a .select_related(…) clause [Django-doc]:
planning = Planning.objects.filter(
added_by=request.user
).select_related('activity').order_by('-date')
