Django: How to override form.save()?

Question

My model has quite a few boolean fields. I\'ve broken these up into 3 sets which I\'m rendering as a MultipleChoiceField w/ a modified CheckboxSelectMulti

The place you want your data to be stored is your new model instance:

def save(self, commit=True):
    instance = super(MyForm, self).save(commit=False)
    instance.flag1 = 'flag1' in self.cleaned_data['multi_choice'] # etc
    if commit:
        instance.save()
    return instance
