Django3 multiple files submit to database

Question

I actually had an idea to make an app where a bulk of files upload can be possible at once, but I got some difficulties on how to implement that on the model and for now I'm in need of help.

And I'm currently trying to solve this error.

I get these errors:

Welcome to SO. In your **views.py** it should be `form.is_valid()` not `form.is_valid` and try to ask one question at a time. SO is the first place to look for an answer but the last place to post one(your last resort...) try your best to solve it yourself first by reading doc or... — Avishka Dambawinna, Aug 27 '21 at 15:53

If you want assign multiple file to a model, you should make a separated model and make a FK between them. E.g for photo:

class GoCustomerRegistration(models.Model):
    ...


class CustomerPhoto(models.Model):
    photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='customers/profiles/')

Now each customer can has multiple photos

And now for uploading multiple image in template, you can use InlineFormSet. Docs in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/forms/modelforms/#inline-formsets

What about the ValueError I'm getting at each time I want to submit using this code above, added to the fact that I wish to a bulk upload...? — yokwejuste, Aug 26 '21 at 23:58
