How do I pass the value from the inside of a for loop ( jinja2 ) to a bootstrap modal to display it in side the modal body?
here is my views.py file:
if request.method == 'GET':
driver = get_network_driver(device.napalm_driver)
with driver(device.IP_address, device.username, device.password) as device_conn:
interfaces = device_conn.get_interfaces()
context = {
'device': device,
'interfaces': interfaces,
}
return render(request, 'network/interface_list.html', context)
Please note that the the device_conn.get_interfaces() method returns a nested dictionary. Here is the html template:
{% extends 'base/base.html' %}
{% block title %}iNet Interface List{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<div class="section">
{% include 'network/include/interface_list_header.html' %}
{% if messages %}
{% for message in messages %}
{% if message.tags == 'success' %}<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
{{ message }}
</div>{% elif message.tags == 'error' %}<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
{{ message }}
</div>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
<div class="card mx-auto shadow rounded">
<div class="card-body">

I wish to show the {{interface.description}} of the selected interface in the textarea so that I can edit it later. Any help would be appreciated.
My issue is - I am able to fetch {{interface.description}} outside the bootstrap modal, however I am unable to fetch the same thin inside the bootstrap modal. Eventhough both of them are inside the for loop.
