How to access outermost forloop.counter with nested for loops in Django templates?

Question

Is it possible to access the forloop.counter for the outermost for loop in the following template in Django:

{% for outerItem in outerItems %}
    {% for item in items%}
        <div>{{ forloop.counter }}.&nbsp;{{ item }}</div>
    {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

forloop.counter returns the innermost for loop's counter in the above example

Answer 1

You can use forloop.parentloop to get to the outer forloop, so in your case {{forloop.parentloop.counter}}.
