Raja that was a great suggestion thank you! Once a started playing around with the urls in the project level I found that it was still being routed to viewLit despite the edit/ in the url I was passing. I decided to put all these classes into the same app viewLit/views.py and now my parameter is correct.
*SELECT* ••• *FROM* "circuitinfotable" *WHERE* "circuitinfotable". "circuitid" = 'STTK-100G-18040-01-WRBB' The problem I am now having is that UpdateView cannot find the template circuitinfotable_form.html Environment: Request Method: GET Request URL:
