How to create one form with multiple buttons in the loop

Question

It is my form in template, I am creating multiple forms with two buttons in the loop for voting particular item and i think it is ugly, how can i avoid that using only one form for all buttons?

{% for bill_item in bill_items %}
   <form action="{% url 'bills:change_quantity' bill_item.id %}" method="post">
      {% csrf_token %}
      <button name="up"></button>
      <button name="down"></button>
   </form>
{% endfor %}

It is my action in the view

def change_quantity(request, bill_item_id):
    bill_item = BillItem.objects.get(pk=bill_item_id)
    if 'up' in request.POST:
        bill_item.increase()
    elif 'down' in request.POST:
        bill_item.decrease()
    bill_item.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/bills/')

How about moving bill_item.id to button? Can't test this at the moment, so please treat this as unchecked suggestion

Like:

<form action="{% url 'bills:change_quantity' bill_item.id %}" method="post">
{% for x_id,bill_item in enumerate(bill_items) %}
  <button name={% x_id %} value="up"></button>
  <button name={% x_id %} value="down"></button>
