Django: mulitselect options not prepopulating in html



I'm using django-multiselect. On the html, all of the items are showing, but the ones that are already checked are not showing that they are checked. I was looking at the documentation, but it's coming prechecked. In particular this line of code isn't working: {% if value in myroles %}checked="checked"{% endif %} Can someone see what I did wrong?


django-multiselect


{% if value in myroles %}checked="checked"{% endif %}



html


{% for value, text in form.role.field.choices %}
<div class="ui slider checkbox">
{{ value }}{{ text }}
<input id="id_role_{{ forloop.counter0 }}" name="{{ form.role.name }}" type="checkbox" value="{{ value }}" {% if value in myroles %}checked="checked"{% endif %}>
<label>{{ text }}</label>
</div>

{% endfor %}



models.py


aaa= 1
bbb= 2
ccc= 3
ddd= 4
eee= 5
ROLE_CHOICES = (
(aaa, 'AAA'),
(bbb, 'BBB'),
(ccc, 'CCC'),
(ddd, 'DDD'),
(eee, 'EEE'),
)

class myClass(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, primary_key=True)
role = MultiSelectField(choices=ROLE_CHOICES, default=True)



When I run this code on the html page:


{% for i in myroles %}
{{ i }}{{ value }}
{% endfor %}



I get an output of 11
This makes me confused why my above if statement doesn't work.


11





what does it show when you inspect element it ? does it display checked="checked" in input tag

checked="checked"





<input id="id_roles_0" name="roles" type="checkbox" value="1">
