Django Form prefix vs. Form set
django, python
Solution
If you have several different forms classes with same input names, like a PetForm and an OwnerForm with both a `name` input in the same page, then you have to use a prefix as explained in the documentation you linked.
If you want to have the same form class repeated, ie. to render a table of TicketForm, then you can use Formsets directly: Formsets use the form prefix feature internally and you don't have to worry about it.
Problem
There exist two ways in Django to process the several forms in one request: - Form prefix - Form sets In which use case is each one preferable? In my specific case, the form lists the fields for an object to be updated from a diff. For each field, an action can be defined (like "update value", "keep value"). The page contains forms for several objects.
