I agree with you; however, I was referencing the user "chasfs" who commented in: (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/ cbbf169b6aaa3f39/3f08ba5b59feea3d?lnk=st&q=form_for_instance +form.save&rnum=6#3f08ba5b59feea3d) writing: "and finally, if you are using form_for_instance, to update an existing instance, you can't use the form.save - instead try something like this: form = forms.form_for_instance(obj, formfield_callback=obj_callback) (request.POST) if form.is_valid(): for i in form.clean_data: obj.__setattr__(i, form.clean_data[i]) obj.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(...)"
