Flask get form returns only the first part of the string

This is the code I have used in my webpage to get items from a list and display it as radios in my webpage for input. Html code:

{% for item in l %}
        <div>
          <input type="radio" name="value" value={{item}} style="color: white;" />
          <label style="color: white;">{{item}}</label>
          </div>
            
        {% endfor %}

Python Code:

val = request.form.get('value')
    note = request.form.get('Note')
    print(val)

The webpage prints it like: Webpage photo

but in the print statement I have written in python. It prints only "from" in the terminal for any radio button I chose because all of them start with from. but when used as a label it renders fully. I cant find the problem here. So can anyone help me in fixing it

You're missing quotation marks around the placeholder. With your code this is what's rendered, in effect, for the first item:

<input type="radio" name="value" value="from" 0-50 style="color: white;" />

The 0-50 is ignored (doesn't have any meaning in this context). Correct code should be:

<input type="radio" name="value" value="{{item}}" style="color: white;" />
