Answer 1

I was setting a value to a specific field in another clean function, but it didnt work because of it was overwrited by the main clean function. In order to set the value and keep it :

• There didnt work.

    def clean_tipo_cupon(self):
        tipo_cupon = self.cleaned_data['tipo_cupon']
        qscu = mdlcat.TipoCuponVenta.objects.filter(
            id=tipo_cupon, estado_id=1,
        )
        if not qscu.exists():
            wmessage = u'introducido no paso validación'
            raise forms.ValidationError(wmessage)

        qscu = qscu.first()
        if not qscu.default_owner is None:
            self.cleaned_data['default_owner'] = qscu.default_owner.id

        return tipo_cupon

• Here, it worked like a charm.

    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = super().clean()
        for item in self.fields.keys():
            if isinstance(cleaned_data.get(item), str):
                cleaned_data[item] = cleaned_data.get(item).upper()

        # if a default owner is configured by coupon type
        # it will be assigned
        tipo_cupon = cleaned_data['tipo_cupon']
        qscu = mdlcat.TipoCuponVenta.objects.filter(
            id=tipo_cupon, estado_id=1,
        )
        qscu = qscu.first()
        if not qscu.default_owner is None:
            self.cleaned_data['default_owner'] = qscu.default_owner.id

        return cleaned_data
