Thank you for your input. I'd rather use forms and clean_<name> method, but I need to get object's pk (it object exists in db), is there any proper way to get it? I know I can override form's __init__ and pass the model, but I can't figure out which method creates the form and if I can pass model from there. Thanks, Kurczak
