Display forms choice in template-Django - django

Question

On the template, when I call person.health_issue, I am getting '1','2' instead of 'Abdominal pain','Anaphylaxis'. How to display the value ('Abdominal pain','Anaphylaxis') instead of the code(1 or2 etc).
I tried with this also {{ person.get_health_issue_display }} in template,it is not displayed anything.
forms.py
HEALTH_USSUES = (
('1', 'Abdominal pain'), ('2', 'Anaphylaxis'), ('3', 'Asthma'),
('4', 'Bruising'), ('5', 'Chest pains'), ('6', 'Coughs or Colds')
)
class PersonActionsForm(forms.ModelForm):
action = forms.MultipleChoiceField(widget=forms.Select(), choices=HEALTH_USSUES, required=False)
models.py
class ReportPerson(models.Model):
report = models.ForeignKey(Report)
name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=100)
first_aid = models.BooleanField('First aid', default=False)
health_issue = models.IntegerField(default=0)
views.py
def report_template(request):
""""""
person = ReportPerson.objects.get(pk=person_id)
""""""
return render(request, 'event/print.html',
{
'person':person
})
can any one tell me how to do this.
Thanks

As you don't have any choices set in model field health_issue you need to write the get_health_issue_display method by your self i will name it as health_issue_display so that default get_FOO_display method not gets overridden:
HEALTH_USSUES = (
(1, 'Abdominal pain'), (2, 'Anaphylaxis'), (3, 'Asthma'),
(4, 'Bruising'), (5, 'Chest pains'), (6, 'Coughs or Colds')
)
class ReportPerson(models.Model):
report = models.ForeignKey(Report)
name = models.CharField('Name', max_length=100)
first_aid = models.BooleanField('First aid', default=False)
health_issue = models.IntegerField(default=1)
def health_issue_display(self):
for c in HEALTH_USSUES:
if c[0] == self.health_issue:
return c[1]
Or just add choices in the model field:
health_issue = models.IntegerField(default=1, choices=HEALTH_USSUES)
Now you have get_health_issue_display.
Also make the first value in every choice as integer (1, 'Abdominal pain') rather than string '1'. Just to remove the confusion.
You have default=0 which does not exists in choices. Change it to default=1
