Django edit form based on add form?

Question

I\'ve made a nice form, and a big complicated \'add\' function for handling it. It starts like this...

def add(req):
    if req.method == \'POST\':
        f         


        

Answer 1

You can have hidden ID field in form and for edit form it will be passed with the form for add form you can set it in req.POST e.g.

formData =  req.POST.copy()
formData['id'] = getNewID()

and pass that formData to form
