I have a form that has two buttons/input.

Button1 saves the page and refresh it.

Button2 saves the page and goes to another url.

Button1 is working with type="submit" and then view.py takes the data, saves them and refresh the data.

My problem is with Button2. I added it with formaction="{% url 'team_area:home' %}" and actually redirect me but the problem is that it doesn't save the data. Button1 still works properly.

Is it possible to have some sort of request.the_id_of_pressed_button to use in view.py?

If it can be helpful here are my files involved:

modify_players.html

<h1>AREA SQUADRA</h1>

<form method="post" action="">

  {% csrf_token %}

  <h2>Giocatori</h2>

  {{ player_formset.management_form }}

  {% for player_form in player_formset %}

    {% if forloop.last %}

      {% if not forloop.first %}

        <input type="submit" value="Salva" formaction="{% url 'team_area:home' %}">

      {% endif %}

      <h5>Nuovo giocatore:</h5>

    {% endif %}

    {% for field in player_form %}

      {% if forloop.revcounter == 2 %}

        {{ field }}

      {% elif forloop.parentloop.last and forloop.last%}

      {% else %}

        {{ field.label_tag }} {{ field }}

      {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}

      <br>

  {% endfor %}

  <input type="submit" value="Aggiungi">

  </form>

views.py

@login_required(login_url="/accounts/login/")

def modify_players(request):

    if request.user.team is not None:

        PlayerFormSet = modelformset_factory(Player, form=PlayerForm, extra=1, can_delete=True,)



        if request.method == "POST":

            player_formset = PlayerFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, queryset=Player.objects.all().filter(team=request.user.team),)

            for player_form in player_formset:

                if player_form.is_valid():

                    player = player_form.save(commit=False)

                    player.team = request.user.team

            if player_formset.is_valid():

                player_formset.save()



            return redirect('team_area:modify_players')

        else:

            player_formset = PlayerFormSet(queryset=Player.objects.all().filter(team=request.user.team))

        return render(request, 'team_area/modify_players.html', {'player_formset': player_formset})

    else:

        return redirect('team_area:home')

Your comments cleared up a couple of things.

Remove formaction from the input so that both the buttons submit the form to the same view.

Give both the buttons a common name but different value. Then in your view, you can differentiate which button was clicked.

html:

<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="button1">

<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="button2">

view:

def modify_players(...):

    ...

    # save data

    ...



    submit_button = request.POST.get('submit_button')

    if submit_button == 'button1':

        # refresh page

    else:

        # redirect to some page
