Within a template distinguish between create and update form

Question

If the CreateView and UpdateView are using the same template \"model_form.html\" then within the template how would I differentiate if I am creating or updating a form?

Answer 1

In an update view, there'll be a form.instance, and form.instance.pk will not be None. In a create view, there may or may not be form.instance, but even if there is form.instance.pk will be None.
