Loop Through List in Django Template

I have a json file 'data' which is a list of dictionaries. One of the keys in every dictionary is 'title' whose value is a a list of titles. How do I display just the first 'title' in this list for every dictionary? The json is as follows:

[{'title':['title1','title2,..],'other data':'xyz',...,}...{'title n':['title n1','title n2,..],'other data n1':'xyz n2',...,}

This is my views.py:

def bill_status(request):
  data = Status.objects.all()
  context = {'data':data}
  return render(request,'billstatus.html',context)

In my template I am rendering this as:

{% for datum in data %}
<h3>{{datum.title}}</h3>
{% endfor %}

However, the output in html is the entire list for every dictionary:

['title1','title2,..]

How do I just output 'title1' rather than the entire list?

{{ datum.title.0 }} would do the trick for you.

Example:-

dat = [{'title':['t1','t2']}, {'title':['t3','t4']}];

In template

 {% for dict in dat %}
     {{dict.title.0}}
 {% endfor %}

Output

t1 t3

That would be <h3>{{ datum.title.0 }}</h3> to get the first item (0) of the list.

You may read more in the docs about the Django Template Language variables.
