[Fixed]-How to use 2 ForeignKey filters one by one in 1 view – Django?

There are a few things I would do here to provide you the best solution.

First, you don’t need to include questionship and answership in your context. Your template can get them via stepfields.questions and question.answers.

Next, to limit your list to 3, I would implement a template filter. This could be done using slices, like this:

register = template.Library()

@register.filter
def limit_to_3(list, arg):
    return list[0:arg]

You could then, in your template, change your {% for %} loops to be this format:

{% for question in stepfieldst.questions|limit:3 %}
    {% for answer in question.answers|limit:3 %}
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

Depending if your number of questions and answers per article are low enough that querying them all would be less burdensome than multiple queries, you could do something like this:

try:
    stepfieldst = Step.objects.select_related(questions__answers).filter(id = question_id)
except Step.DoesNotExist:
    raise Http404

This would select all related questions and answers in a single query.
