Deleting characters in the list created using the getlist method-CodePudding

I created a list using the getlist method in my django project, and then I use this list in my form. Every time I update the form, it automatically adds a new character to the list. How can I prevent this? I used the strip and split methods but no results. I am attaching my codes below.

models.py

class Records(models.Model):    
    medications = models.CharField(max_length=1000, null=True,blank=True)
    scale_used = models.CharField(max_length=1000, null=True,blank=True)
    way_of_application = models.CharField(max_length=1000,null=True,blank=True)

views.py

def insertList(request):
     records = Records()
     records.medications = request.POST.getlist('medications')
     records.scale_used = request.POST.getlist('scale_used')
     records.way_of_application = request.POST.getlist('way_of_application')
        
     records.save()
     return redirect('/index/tables')

def getList(request,id):
    edit_records = Records.objects.get(id=id)
    if edit_records.medications is not None:
        edit_records.medications = edit_records.medications.strip('"]["').split(',')
    if edit_records.scale_used is not None:
        edit_records.scale_used = edit_records.scale_used.strip('"]["').split(',')
    if  edit_records.way_of_application is not None:
        edit_records.way_of_application = edit_records.way_of_application.strip('"]["').split(',')

   return render(request,"update_record.html",{"Records": edit_records})

Output:

medications = ['\'\\\'PULCET 40MG FLAKON\\\'"\'', '\'"\\\'METPAMİD 10MG/2ML AMPUL\\\'"\'', '\'"\\\'İZOTONİK 250ML\\\'"\'']
scale_used = ['\'\\\'1 FLAKON\\\'"\'', ' \' " \\\'1 AMP\\\'"\'', ' " \' 1 ADET\'"', ' \' " \\\'\\\'\'']
way_of_application = ['\'\\\'I.V İnfüzyon\\\'"\'', '\'"\\\'I.V\\\'"\'', '\'"\\\'I.V\\\'"\'', '\'"\\\'\\\'\'']

I have given the codes I used with the outputs above, can you help with this?

CodePudding user response：

Try to add only the data without tuple for that you can join and save the data

def insertList(request):
     records = Records()
     records.medications = ','.join(request.POST.getlist('medications'))
     records.scale_used = ','.join(request.POST.getlist('scale_used'))
     records.way_of_application = ','.join(request.POST.getlist('way_of_application'))
        
     records.save()
     return redirect('/index/tables')
