django MultiValueDictKeyError error, how do I deal with it

Question

I\'m trying to save a object to my database, but it\'s throwing a MultiValueDictKeyError error.

The problems lies within the form, the is_private<

Answer 1

Use the MultiValueDict's get method. This is also present on standard dicts and is a way to fetch a value while providing a default if it does not exist.

is_private = request.POST.get('is_private', False)

Generally,

my_var = dict.get(, )
