Iterate over choices in CheckboxSelectMultiple

Question

I have a CheckboxSelectMultiple field, why can\'t I iterate over the single choices?

This doesn\'t work:

  {%for choice in form.travels.choices%}

if you have a Form.ModelForm with a choice field, you can itrate it in the template by a simple template filter.

forms.py

    STATE_CHOICES = (
    (10, 'NO'),
    (4, 'YES'),
    (18, 'Send to another Chemist for Review'),
    (34, 'Send to another Market Expert for Review'),
    (20, 'HOLD'),
)
new_state = forms.ChoiceField(
    choices=STATE_CHOICES,
    required=True,
)

Template:

{{ business_manager_form.new_state|filter_project_states:project }}

and here is the filter it self.

@register.filter()
def filter_project_states(argv, project):
if project.department.id != 4:
argv.field.choices = [choice for choice in argv.field.choices if choice[0] != 34]
return argv

I hope this helps.
