For a restaurant i want to make a form, were the user can add their
address, and their order. The order part is dynamic (users can add
extra fields). I used jquery.formset for this.

To accomplish this i have an address form and a dishes formset:

class Address(models.Model):
        name = models.CharField(max_length=20)

class AddressForm(ModelForm):
        class Meta:
                model = Address

class DishesForm(forms.Form):
    dish = forms.CharField(max_length=200)

DishesFormset = formsets.formset_factory(DishesForm)

In the view i call these forms with: form = AddressForm()  formset =
DishesFormset()

I have two problems with the formset:

1. in the template i can only get a form with {{formset}} .
{{formset.dish}} doesn't work
2. how do i access the cleaned_data from the formset? When I test I
see in the POST that multiple dishes are posted, but I can only get
the first one in the cleaned_data

I don't understand your questions.

A formset is a set of forms. What would {{ formset.dish }} even refer to? Only the forms inside the formset have a `dish` field.

Question 2 is impossible to answer without seeing your view code.
