But how do I handle the scenario I described? I only need to set the
company when I create the record. I do not need to set it or have it
validated when I edit the record.
Why does this code not take into account my company is already set?
contact = Contact.objects.get( pk=id )
form = ContactForm( instance=contact )
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactForm( request.POST, instance=contact )
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
Why do I get errors when I don't include previously set data?
ipdb> form.errors
{'company': [u'This field is required.']}
