Django Forms: MultipleSelect with choices from another model (Foreign Key) - django

Question

I'm trying to create a form where the user can select multiple technician. When I add the line technician = forms.SelectMultiple(label='Technicians Involved') to my forms.py I get a big blank box with no data. How can I populate that box with the technicians from the User model?
models.py
class Incident(models.Model):
user_id = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='user')
technician = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='technician')
capa = models.CharField('capa number', max_length=9)
forms.py
class IncidentForm(forms.ModelForm):
###################### TRYING! ################################
technician = forms.SelectMultiple(label='Technicians Involved')
###############################################################
class Meta:
model = Incident
fields = [ 'user_id',
'technician',
'capa',
]
views.py
def report_incident(request):
template = "report.html"
if request.method == 'POST':
form = IncidentForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# Auto capturing logged in user
incident = form.save(False)
incident.user_id = request.user
incident.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/incidents/')
else:
form = IncidentForm() #an unbound form
return render(request, template, {'form': form})
************** UPDATE WITH CORRECTIONS I MADE BELOW *********************
models.py
class Incident(models.Model):
user_id = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='user')
technician = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='technician')
capa = models.CharField('capa number', max_length=9)
forms.py
class IncidentForm(forms.ModelForm):
technician = forms.SelectMultiple()
class Meta:
model = Incident
fields = [ 'user_id',
'technician',
'capa',
]
views.py
No changes
admin.py
Changes made to view multiple technicians per incident in the admin interface.
class IncidentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('id',
'user_id',
'capa',
'get_technicians'
)
def get_technicians(self):
return "\n".join([t.technicians for t in obj.technician.all()])

Try this out
class IncidentForm(forms.ModelForm):
technician = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple(), queryset=User.objects.all())
class Meta:
model = Incident
fields = [
'technician',
'capa',
]
