How do I retain selected option after submit?












0















Is there a way to retain the selected option from a drop down list that is using a for loop?



views.py:



...

queryC = request.GET.get('clientList', '')
queryT = request.GET.get('topicList', '')
topicList = Topic.objects.all().order_by('Name')
clientList = ClientDetail.objects.all().order_by('Client_name')

...

return render(request, 'app/search_es20.html', {
"responses": responses,
"query": q,
"queryR": queryR,
"noOfResults": resultsCount,
"username": username,
"topicList": topicList,
"clientList": clientList,
"queryC": queryC,
"queryT": queryT,
})


html:



Topic
<select name="topicList">
<option value="empty"></option>
{% for element in topicList %}
<option value={{element.Name}}>{{ element.Name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>

Client
<select name="clientList">
<option value="empty"></option>
{% for element in clientList %}
<option value={{element.Client_name}}>{{ element.Client_name }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>


I have tried using IF statements but it's not doing it properly

          If you have access on context (or on request) to the selected value, then you can do something like this:



          <option value={{element.Client_name}} {% if element.Client_name == some_var %} selected {% endif %}>{{ element.Client_name }}</option>
