Django: Display form name in template with prefix -

i have looked around answer while no success. want name of form field prefix included. know how this?

example:

let's create form in views.py , include prefix this:

myform = someform(prefix="prefix")

and pass template. if access form field within template directly {{ myform.username }} (notice prefix included):

<select id="id_prefix-username" name="prefix-username"> ...

if manually create form tag , insert name, don't prefix it:

<input name="{{ myform.username.name }}">

will generate:

<input name="username">

notice how missing prefix. now, can achieve same result:

 <input name="{{ myform.prefix }}-{{ myform.username.name }}">

but there must built in way this?

you can use html_name instead:

<input name="{{ myform.username.html_name }}">

that should add prefix needed
