The only thing you need to do that you're not doing is to actually
pass the instance of Question (or Choice) to the form when you
instantiate it.
Assuming that 'question' is the PK of the Question object:
def contact(request, question):
question_obj = Question.objects.get(pk=question)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = Questionform(request.POST, instance=question_obj)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/submission/')
else:
form = Questionform(instance=question_obj)
return render_to_response('contact.html', {
'form': form
})
Note that HttpResponseRedirect takes a *URL*, not a template/context.
It tells the user's browser to request a different URL so that they
can't submit the form twice.
