How to return a different field than a models primary key in django-autocomplete?










0















In my scenario within a form in my template I have two div parts.



In the first div there is a name="products__contains" so I can easily refer to selected item when i deal with a POST request.



 <div class="form-group col-md-12">
<select id="products__contains" name="products__contains" class="form-control product">
<option disabled selected>Select Product:</option>
% for p in products %
% if p %
<option value="p"
% if p == request.GET.products__contains %selected="selected"% endif %>
p
</option>
% endif %
% endfor %
</select>
</div>


In my second div, which implemented based on autocomplete there is no name to refer to.



<div>
% csrf_token %
form.product_name
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<script type="text/javascript" src="static/admin/js/vendor/jquery"></script>
form.media


My purpose is to create same urls when posting something.



When using the first solution with date and product selected I can create a url looking like:



www.example.com:port/shops/rest_new/?date=2018-11-13&products__contains=10+HERBS+COLON+CLEANSE+30tav



When using the second solution with date and product selected from the autocomplete textfield(loads the list of the products) I can create a url looking like:



www.example.com:port/shops/rest_new/?date=2018-11-13&categories__contains=1.ALFA&csrfmiddlewaretoken=QZmVRfHpFrmDEHsKysX60drdkVgbZWcOrhJTtj5G4u0h9eL1MOdBBt8Xw17iwsMg&product_name=22#



which is not what I want since it has a csrf reference and the product_name refers to id and not to the name of the product as I would like to.



In both examples I searched for the same product and press the submit button of my form.



Visually my site looks like:



enter image description here



In summary how can i change the name and the value of an element when it is autogenerated?
