Django drop down is not giving me the full selected name - django

Question

I have a drop down and it is populated through my models. I am able to select one and then push submit. But the data that I am getting is being broke by spaces in the name. So if I have an option in my drop down menu such as:
Please Pick Me
I will only get
Please
template.html
<form action="{% url 'parsed' %}" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<label for="sel1">Select Test:</label>
<select class="form-control" name="selectedtest" id="sel1">
{% for test in test %}
<option value={{ test.name }}>{{ test.name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Paste Event JSON</label>
<textarea class="form-control" name="jsontextarea" rows="20"></textarea>
<div style="text-align:center">
</br>
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Parse">
</div>
</div>
</form>
views.py
def parsed(request):
data = request.POST.get('jsontextarea')
testname = request.POST.get('selectedtest')
print(testname)
context = {
"json" : data,
"test" : Test.objects.all(),
"event" : Event.objects.all(),
"platform" : Platform.objects.all(),
"device" : Device.objects.all(),
"property" : Property.objects.all(),
"testname" : testname
}
return render(request, 'jsonparser/parsed.html', context)

Answer 1

Try replacing
<option value={{ test.name }}>{{ test.name }}</option>
with
<option value="{{ test.name }}">{{ test.name }}</option> (Notice the double quotes)
My guess is that your HTML becomes - <option value=Please Pick Me>Please pick me</option> and in this case the value of the option is "Please". If you use double quotes however, it would become <option value="Please Pick Me">Please pick me</option> which is what you want
