Django looping formsets cause ValidationError in management form - django

Question

I am trying to output two same forms and save them to database with different prefix. I used this post https://collingrady.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/editing-multiple-objects-in-django-with-newforms/ as an example. However I get validation error that management form is being tampered with. Could you please kindly advise how to solve it? Thank you.
Also is it possible to filter database by the prefix in this case if i want to retrieve the data later for analysis.

Answer 1

You are trying to initialize the formsets with request.POST on GET requests, which of course can't work.
Replace the second
formsets = [AssumptionsFormset(request.POST, prefix=thing) for thing in model_names]
with
formsets = [AssumptionsFormset(prefix=thing) for thing in model_names]
