How to insert data to the same table id with Javascript Clone Code?

I am trying something with django and i need clone the form elements.
I found some code, it works but it inserts the different table id. I wanna clone two form fields with js clone code. It clones and then post the fields, when i looked the database, i see two fields inserterd tho different ids. How can i fix this?
When you look database image, same numbers but different id's. How can i insert data to same id with two form fields.
This is create_normal.html
Here is the database
Here is my codes.

I found another way there is no need javascript. Actually i wanna make multiple forms and each datas must belong to one register. And sometimes one register can be own multiple datas. After all searching i found another way to make my project. I made a model with a primary key and then i give foreignkey and onetonefield to other models. Everything solved.
Here is the full project code: https://github.com/eseymenler/demo2

Javascript array to Django many to many field

I have a Django form with Area and Subarea. The subarea input is a ManytoManyField (not every area is a subarea but all subarea is an area), but I have to style it in the frontend, in a way that I can add and remove elements from a text input before I submit the form. I have already implemented a JavaScript function that collects all subareas in an array.
I would like to know how can I pass this array to Django, so it can go to the Subarea field and save it. Is there any possible way?
Django models.py:
class Area(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
is_subarea = models.BooleanField(default=False)
Subarea = models.ManyToManyField('Area', blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Django views.py:
class AddLanguageView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
model = Area
template_name = 'language/add-language.html'
form_class = LanguageForm
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
area = Area()
area.name = request.POST.get('nome')
area.subarea = request.POST.get('Subarea')
area.save()
return render(request, 'language/add-language.html')
let sublanguageArray = [];
let i = 0;
const addSublanguage = () => {
// Add to array
const sublanguage = document.getElementById("sublanguage-input").value;
sublanguageArray.push({
name: sublanguage,
id: i
});
// Screen Preview
document.querySelector('#sublanguages').innerHTML += `
<div>
<div class="delete-sublanguage">
<img src="/static/assets/delete.png" id-delete="${i}" onclick="deleteSublanguage(this)">
</div>
${sublanguage}
</div>
`;
i++
}
// Delete html preview and from array
const deleteSublanguage = (item) => {
const block = item.parentElement.parentElement;
block.parentNode.removeChild(block);
sublanguageArray = sublanguageArray.filter(sub => sub.id !== +item.getAttribute('id-delete'));
};
<form method="POST" class="add-language-form" >
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="language-title-box" >
<h2>Linguagem:</h2>
{{ form.name }}
</div>
<div class="subarea-box">
<h2>Sub-linguagem</h2>
<input type="text" id="sublanguage-input">
<button id="submit-sublanguage" onclick="addSublanguage()">ADD</button>
<div id="sublanguages"></div>
</div>
<div class="submit-lang-box" >
<input type="submit" value="ADD AREA" id="addLanguageButton" next="partials/base.html">

Django ValidationError after javascript modifies the choice field

I'm working on a job scheduling app for a REST API and I've created a Tasks, Nodes, URL, Adom, BaseOptions, and Jobs tables in Django. The BaseOptions have a foreign key for src_adom and dst_adom and the Jobs have foreign keys for the Task, src_node, dst_node, url and baseOptions. I didn't use a ModelForm but a generic Form instead and just loaded up the initial values and choices for all the fields I need in order to process a job. I did that because I couldn't figure out how to make the form change when the user selects a different node and want to change the select field for the corresponding adoms. I'm using javascript to detect a new node and changing the select field with the appropriate adoms for that node. I get a validation error if I change the initial source and/or destination node and modify the adom selection list. I know it is because my list of choices have changed from what I initially rendered the form with.
Is there a way to change the choices associated with a ChoiceField during the "clean" method? I can't seem to find that in the documents or digging through the Django code on github.

I must confess I didn't go through all the code (it's quite a lot), but at a first glance it looks to me as you should move the initialization of your choices (intTasks, initNodes...) into the __init__ method of your FormClass (ScheduleJobForm).
Because you want the code to be run when you instantiate the class, not when you load the module, right?
So:
class ScheduleJobForm(forms.Form):
selected_node_type = forms.CharField(initial=selectedNodeType, widget=forms.HiddenInput)
task = forms.ChoiceField(choices=initTasks)
# further fields
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
# initialize initNodes and the rest
self.fields["src_node"]=initNodes
# and resp.
The form does not care about Javascript, as it is instantiated in the post request after all the Javascript magic on the frontend.
So there doesn't have to (and cannot) be any interaction between Javascript and your form.

I was able to figure out how to dynamically change the choices by using the getter and setter property of ChoiceField (see github repo).
The change I made was in the ScheduleJobForm view. I added these additional lines before calling 'is_valid':
print("Got a POST request, checking for valid...")
print("Fix the choices in the ADOMs first.")
src_nodeID_name = form['src_node'].value()
dst_nodeID_name = form['dst_node'].value()
src_nodeID = src_nodeID_name.split('.')[0]
dst_nodeID = dst_nodeID_name.split('.')[0]
srcAdoms = []
for adom in Adom.objects.all().filter(fmg_id=src_nodeID).order_by('id'):
adomChoice = adom.id, adom.name
srcAdoms.append(adomChoice)
dstAdoms = []
for adom in Adom.objects.all().filter(fmg_id=dst_nodeID).order_by('id'):
adomChoice = adom.id, adom.name
dstAdoms.append(adomChoice)
form.fields['src_adom'].choices = srcAdoms
form.fields['dst_adom'].choices = dstAdoms
For efficiency, I should probably check changed_data and see if the ADOM's have actually changed or not.

Django View on Ajax call

I'm creating a catalogue page. On this page I want to allow user to filter the products.
So I created a sidebar with checkboxes and input texts.
I would like that every time the user changes the filter parameters, the catalogue is updated.
this is my code:
html for sidebar (filter):
<h3>Filtri:</h3>
<b>Marca:</b><br>
{% for marca in marche %}
<input type="checkbox" title="{{ marca.nome }}" value="{{ marca.nome }}" name="marca" class="marca" onclick="filtra()"> {{ marca.nome }} <br>
{% empty %}
<p>Nessuna Marca è ancora stata inserita.</p>
{% endfor %}
<br>
<b>Portata:</b> <br>
Maggiore di
<input type="text" title="portata" name="portata" id="portata" class="textbox-filtro" maxlength="4" onblur="filtra()"> kg
<br><br>
<b>Sollevamento:</b> <br>
Maggiore di
<input type="text" title="sollevamento" id="sollevamento" class="textbox-filtro" maxlength="4" onblur="filtra()"> mt
<br><br>
<b>Trazione:</b><br>
{% for tra in trazione %}
<input type="checkbox" title="{{ tra.trazione }}" value="{{ tra.trazione }}" id="{{ tra.trazione }}" class="trazione" onclick="filtra()"> {{ tra.trazione }} <br>
{% empty %}
<p>Nessuna Trazione è ancora stata inserita</p>
{% endfor %}
<br>
<b>Idroguida:</b><br>
{% for idro in idroguida %}
<input type="checkbox" title="{{ idro.idroguida }}" value="{{ idro.idroguida }}" id="{{ idro.idroguida }}" class="idroguida" onclick="filtra()"> {{ idro.idroguida }} <br>
{% empty %}
<p>Nessuna Idroguida è ancora stata inderita</p>
{% endfor %}
As you can see, I've 5 filter groups: Marca (brand), Portata (carrying capacity), Sollevamento (lift), Trazione (traction) and Idroguida (power steering).
Every time you edit these values, the javascript function filtra() is called... so onblur for text input and onclick for checkboxes.
Here the javascript code:
<script>
function getCookie(name) {
var cookieValue = null;
if (document.cookie && document.cookie !== '') {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
var cookie = jQuery.trim(cookies[i]);
// Does this cookie string begin with the name we want?
if (cookie.substring(0, name.length + 1) === (name + '=')) {
cookieValue = decodeURIComponent(cookie.substring(name.length + 1));
break;
}
}
}
return cookieValue;
}
var csrftoken = getCookie('csrftoken');
function csrfSafeMethod(method) {
// these HTTP methods do not require CSRF protection
return (/^(GET|HEAD|OPTIONS|TRACE)$/.test(method));
}
function filtra() {
var marche_selezionate = [];
var marca_check = document.getElementsByClassName('marca');
for(var i = 0; i < marca_check.length; i++){
if(marca_check[i].checked){
marche_selezionate.push(marca_check[i].value);
}
}
marche_selezionate = marche_selezionate.join(',');
var portata_selezionata = document.getElementById('portata').value;
var sollevamento_selezionata = document.getElementById('sollevamento').value;
var trazioni_selezionate = [];
var trazione_check = document.getElementsByClassName('trazione');
for(i = 0; i < trazione_check.length; i++){
if(trazione_check[i].checked){
trazioni_selezionate.push(trazione_check[i].value);
}
}
var idroguida_selezionate = [];
var idroguida_check = document.getElementsByClassName('idroguida');
for(i = 0; i < idroguida_check.length; i++){
if(idroguida_check[i].checked){
idroguida_selezionate.push(idroguida_check[i].value);
}
}
$.ajaxSetup({
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) {
if (!csrfSafeMethod(settings.type) && !this.crossDomain) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-CSRFToken", csrftoken);
}
}
});
var postUrl = "{% url 'carrellielevatori:carrellielevatori' %}";
$.ajax({
url: postUrl,
type: 'POST',
data: {'marche_selezionate': marche_selezionate},
success: function(result){
alert('success');
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
}
});
}
</script>
so, after setting up csrf token, in way to avoid the error "403 forbidden", I start looking and all the parameters and set up the 5 variables that I would like to pass at the view in way to filter up the catalogue.
I've also added some alert in the ajax call in way to know if it's successful or not. It is. The alert with "success" appear.
The problem is that everything stops here.
In fact, it seems nothing happens in the view.
here the code of the view:
def carrellielevatori(request):
lista_carrelli = Carrelli.objects.all()
lista_marche = Marche.objects.all()
lista_trazione = Trazione.objects.all()
lista_idroguida = Idroguida.objects.all()
footerForm = MailForm()
method = 'get'
if request.is_ajax():
method = 'ajax'
return render(request,
'carrellielevatori/carrellielevatori.html',
{
'title': 'Carrelli Elevatori - Giemme Lift s.r.l.',
'footerForm': footerForm,
'year': datetime.now().year,
'carrelli': lista_carrelli,
'marche': lista_marche,
'trazione': lista_trazione,
'idroguida': lista_idroguida,
'method':method,
})
to understand if it works, I've set up the variable method to "get" and displayed it on the page. Then in the ajax "if", I change the value to "ajax".
So it should change, right? the text remains "get" and never changes to "ajax".
This is a first try to see if it works. Once I know this work I'll proceed to filter the query that with the products. But if this does not work it's useless.
PS. Yes in the ajax call I pass just one parameters. This is to know if it works. Later I will proceed adding the other parameters in the data field.
To conclude, can you please tell me why does not enter in the in if request.is_ajax()':
Is this in not the right way, how can I filter the oringal query?
I've also tried with if request.method == 'POST', but i get the same result.

Here’s how I would do it:
#csrf_exempt
def carrellielevatori(request):
lista_carrelli = Carrelli.objects.all()
lista_marche = Marche.objects.all()
lista_trazione = Trazione.objects.all()
lista_idroguida = Idroguida.objects.all()
footerForm = MailForm()
method = 'get'
if request.is_ajax():
method = 'ajax'
return JsonResponse({
'title': 'Carrelli Elevatori - Giemme Lift s.r.l.',
'footerForm': footerForm,
'year': datetime.now().year,
'carrelli': lista_carrelli,
'marche': lista_marche,
'trazione': lista_trazione,
'idroguida': lista_idroguida,
'method':method,
})
In the JS:
function filtra() {
var marche_selezionate = [];
var marca_check = document.getElementsByClassName('marca');
for(var i = 0; i < marca_check.length; i++){
if(marca_check[i].checked){
marche_selezionate.push(marca_check[i].value);
}
}
marche_selezionate = marche_selezionate.join(',');
var portata_selezionata = document.getElementById('portata').value;
var sollevamento_selezionata = document.getElementById('sollevamento').value;
var trazioni_selezionate = [];
var trazione_check = document.getElementsByClassName('trazione');
for(i = 0; i < trazione_check.length; i++){
if(trazione_check[i].checked){
trazioni_selezionate.push(trazione_check[i].value);
}
}
var idroguida_selezionate = [];
var idroguida_check = document.getElementsByClassName('idroguida');
for(i = 0; i < idroguida_check.length; i++){
if(idroguida_check[i].checked){
idroguida_selezionate.push(idroguida_check[i].value);
}
}
var postUrl = "{% url 'carrellielevatori:carrellielevatori' %}";
$.post(postUrl, {'marche_selezionate': marche_selezionate},
function(result){
alert('success');
}).fail(function (data, status, xhr) {
alert(xhr.status);
alert(thrownError);
});
}
