Single CreateView in django for submitting multiple ModelForm data to multiple Model

Question

I have a multiple modelforms form multiple model. I want one single CreateView for submitting all the values. I have three models(Employee, WorkExperience and Education). Models are connected using ForeignKey with each other.

forms.py:

class EmployeeAddModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    """
    Creates a form for employee invitations
    """
    class Meta:
        model = Employee
        fields = [
            'e_id',
            'first_name',
            'last_name',
            'gender',
            'religion',
]
class WorkExperienceForm(forms.ModelForm):
    """
    Creates a form for saving employee work experiences
    """
    class Meta:
        model = WorkExperience
        fields = [
            'previous_company_name',
            'job_designation',
            'from_date',
            'to_date',
            'job_description',
        ]
class EducationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    """
    Creates a form for saving educational info of an employee
    """
    class Meta:
        model = Education
        fields = [
            'institution_name',
            'degree',
            'passing_year',
            'result',]
       

I have three model forms from three models in form.py. I want that my createview inherits all this modelforms and create a single form for posting data.

views.py:

class EmployeeAddView(LoginRequiredMixin,CreateView):
    """
    Creates new employee
    """
    login_url = '/authentication/login/'
    template_name = 'employee/employee_add_form.html'
    form_class = EmployeeAddModelForm
    work_form_class = WorkExperienceForm
    queryset = Employee.objects.all()

    def form_valid(self, form):
        print(form.cleaned_data)
        return super().form_valid(form)

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    form = self.form_class(request.POST)
    work_form = self.work_form_class(request.POST, prefix='work_form')
    education_form = self.education_form_class(request.POST, prefix='education_form')

    if form.is_valid() and work_form.is_valid():
        instance = form.save()
        work = work_form.save(commit=False)
        education = education_form.save(commit=False)
        work.employee = instance
        education.employee = instance
        work.save()
        education.save()

    if not education_form.is_valid():
        print("Education") 
        return redirect('employee:employee-list')

    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse('employee:employee-list')

I am rendering two forms from my view class. But when I use 'work_form' in my template.html, nothing appears.

How can I render all modelforms in my view?

Answer 1

override get function, because get request can not get work_form in default

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
    form = self.form_class(**self.get_form_kwargs())
    work_form = self.work_form_class(prefix='work_form')
    return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': form, 'work_form': work_form})
