Django: Save same formset multiple times - django

Question

This might sound stupid, but I have a model_formset for a single model in my views that is passed to my template. In my template I place the formset inside a loop:
<form action="generate/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ formset.management_form }}
{% for count in formset_count %}
<p id="{{ count }}">{{ formset }}</p>
{% endfor %}
<div class="submitbutton" style="text-align: center;">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
formset_count is just a range of 1 to 5. I have javascript that automatically enters the necessary values in the formset and each formset is slightly different. I would like to submit and save all 5 formsets simultaneously by hitting the submit button once.
In my generate views I have the normal:
f = MyFormSet(request.POST)
if f.is_valid():
f.save()
return HttpResponse("Saved")
else:
return HttpResponse(f.errors)
This saves only the last formset in the loop.
Is it possible to save all 5 formsets (the same formset with different values) at once using the modelformset_factory?

I think your template needs a little work. It looks like you're rendering the entire formset 5 times, with <p id="{{ count }}">{{ formset }}</p>. You can also use Django's built-in forloop.counter to get the sequential numbering.
<form action="generate/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ formset.management_form }}
{% for form in formset %}
<p id="{{forloop.counter}}">{{ form }}</p>
{% endfor %}
<div class="submitbutton" style="text-align: center;">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
Your view code should be fine, as per the docs.
