How get multiple BooleanFields in a form using Django - django

Question

I have a form in my site to get a report about some "collective payment". It has 3 main field: Value, date of payment and who paid.
The field "who paid" is a table containing the name of all users and a checkbox.
Currently I'm looping over all users, adding their full names to the table with a single checkbox. But I don't know how to get this data in my form associating it with each user name (just the text).
How can I get multiple BooleanFields in my form ? Is there a way of associate each BooleanField with an user's name?

who_paid = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')
value = models.DecimalField(max_digits=6, decimal_places=2)
justification = models.CharField(max_length=257, default='')

return "%s - %s" % (self.name , self.who_paid)

How the form is:

Answer 1

You need to make who_paid a ManyToManyField(User). Then in the form you can set its widget like this:
class Meta:
model = GroupTransaction
fields = ('value', 'date','who_paid','its_type')
widgets = {
'who_paid': forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(),
}
That will give you the right structure. Then you can render it manually if you want to change the display.
