Malcom,
I looked at the ModelForm documentation and to be honest with you i don't
understand how am i suppose to change or add a required value that i excluded.
I should underscore that i am fairly new to django so please bare with me.
I tried coping request.POST into a dictionary variable and adding the required
value and then create my form instance like this:
if request.method == 'POST':
data = copy(request.POST)
data['required_field'] = value
form = forms.Model2Form(data)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("")
but i get the same error. As for your second suggestion i am not quite sure
what should i do.
Thanks,
Jorge Hugo Murillo
When a ModelForm is saved it doesn't take the data from attributes on
the form like you're guessing it does. It looks in cleaned_data.
So you could pass in your compulsory values when initialising the form
instance (make a dictionary that combines request.POST and the required
values and pass that to the constructor instead of request.POST).
Or you could write a save() method on your form that passes commit=False
to the ModelForm.save() method and then update the object instance and
save it in your own method. That's the most logical approach -- you want
different save() behaviour, so you override the default save() method.
It's all documented in the modelforms documentation.
Regards,
Malcolm
