✅

It looks like you have multiple checkboxes on a page and each has the name groups. This is perfectly OK.

When you submit a form like this, the params may look like this:

?groups=1&groups=3&groups=4

Your form definition, on the other hand, is defining groups as a CharField. It will be populated with with a value retrieved from request.GET['groups'] which will only retrieve one of the above values.

I think you would be better off if you defined groups as:

CHOICES = (
(0, '1'),
(1, '2'),
(2, '3'),
)

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    groups = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
            choices=CHOICES, 
            label="Groups", 
            required=False)
