Django ValidationError: ["“('1',)” value must be either True, False, or None."]

Question

why i am having getting this error ? ["“('1',)” value must be either True, False, or None."] did i miss something in my code? i am trying to update the data and i receive this error.

This is my html

<input type="checkbox" name="Ubo"  value="1" {% if feedback.q5Ubo %}checked="check"   {% endif %}>
<input type="checkbox" name="Lagnat"  value="1" {% if feedback.q5Lagnat  %}checked="check"  {% endif %}>
<input type="checkbox" name="Sipon"  value="1" {% if feedback.q5Sipon  %}checked="check"  {% endif %} >
<input type="checkbox" name="Lbm"  value="1" {% if feedback.q5LBM  %}checked="check"  {% endif %}>

This is my views.py

Ubo = request.POST.get('Ubo') or 0
Lagnat = request.POST.get('Lagnat') or 0
Sipon = request.POST.get('Sipon') or 0
Lbm = request.POST.get('Lbm') or 0

this is my models.py

q5Ubo = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True, null=True)
q5Lagnat = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True, null=True)
q5Sipon = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True, null=True)
q5LBM = models.BooleanField(default=False, blank=True, null=True)

UPDATE i change my html and views.py

html

<input type="checkbox" name="Ubo"  value=True>
<input type="checkbox" name="Lagnat"  value=True >
<input type="checkbox" name="Sipon"  value=True >
<input type="checkbox" name="Lbm"  value=True >

views.py

Ubo = bool(request.POST.get('Ubo')) or False
Lagnat = bool(request.POST.get('Lagnat')) or False
Sipon = bool(request.POST.get('Sipon')) or False
Lbm = bool(request.POST.get('Lbm')) or False

this is the traceback

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure why your "hand written form" isn't working, and I suspect most other users don't either, because you shouldn't write forms by hand !

It will be much easier for both of us , if I show you how to use a form with your setup.

In a file traditionally called forms.py , create a new form class for your model:

from django import forms
from .models import TrEmployeeSuppliersFeedbackQuestionsSubmittedRecords as ThisNameIsTooLong


class ThisNameIsTooLongForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = ThisNameIsTooLong
        fields = '__all__'

Now, in your views.py :

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
form django.core.exceptions import ValidationError, SuspiciousOperation

from .forms import ThisNameIsTooLongForm

def my_view(request):
    form = ThisNameIsTooLongForm(request.POST or None)
    
    if request.method == 'GET':
        context = {'form': form}
        return render(request, 'my_template.html', context)

    if request.method == 'POST':
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            # handle valid form here. eg:
            return redirect('some_view')
        else:
            # handle invalid form
            raise ValidationError('form was invalid')
    
    # method was neither "GET" nor "POST", raise a 405: Method Not Allowed
    raise SuspiciousOperation(405)

Finally, in my_template.html , you will need to render the form via the form object passed into the template context:

<form method="POST"> {% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_ul }}
<button>save</button>
</form>

I'm not sure where your feedback object is coming from, so I left out the programmatic toggling of the form input's value. If you want the same functionality that your current setup has, you will need to find a way to pass the feedback to the form's __init__ , for example:

feedback = {'q5Ubo': True}
form = ThisNameIsTooLongForm(request.POST or None, feedback=feedback)

And in your form class:

class ThisNameIsTooLongForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = ThisNameIsTooLong
        fields = '__all__'

    def __init__(self, *args, feedback=None, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        if feedback is not None:
            for key, value in feedback.items():
                self.initial[key] = value

You should really give the form docs a read if you haven't already.

Answer 2

You have created the field as Boolean. So it should return either True or False . Also, it will accept None , because you have added null = True.

But the value you are currently getting from HTML is a string. You have to convert it into boolean.

Ubo = bool(request.POST.get('Ubo'))

Updates: As per @ElrondSupportsMonica, or False is not needed. .get(key, default=None, /) will return the key, if the key is there, else it will return the default value. For the default value, we have None . bool(None) will be False. So or False is not needed.
