It must be a common need to allow the user to change only some fields of an object and keep old values for the rest.
So far with newforms this has involved copying values explicitly from the database object to the form object. Looking at newforms code I realized that a cleaner way is to just not try to copy missing fields from the form object to the database object before saving. For one possible solution, see http://akaihola.blogspot.com/2007/02/django-newforms-improvement.html for details and the code. The code is based on newforms.models and makes minimal changes to form_for_instance (and its helper functions) to achieve the new functionality. If this new behaviour doesn't violate the intentions behind newforms, could it be adapted into Django? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
