Hi Mike,
Make sure you are setting the instance argument when you instantiate the form.
Typically, you would pass in a pk to the view.

def my_update_view(request, pk):
obj = get_object_or_404(MyModel, pk=pk)
form = MyForm(request.POST or None, instance=obj)
….

I hope this helps you.
Best wishes,
Matthew

Subject: How do you populate an update form in a Bootstrap Modal?

I am trying to figure out how to populate the update model form in a Bootstrap 
Modal. I can add to a form no problem but update does not seem to pre-populate 
the form when it is viewed. I need to understand what i need to do in the 
view/template to get this done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mike
