Hi all, I am trying to use a ModelForm in a "sparse" way to edit instances, i.e. I only render one of its fields (plus a submit button) in the template for editing the corresponding field in the model. I would have expected that fields not present in the POST data of the request would be omitted when updating the model, but to my surprise these fields are set to the empty string "" - even fields that have been None/NULL before calling form.save().
Is there a way to get the desired behavior (simply omitting data not present in the request)? Shouldn't this even be the default behavior? I believe the issue is actually not constrained to ModelForms but probably applies to all forms in general, but it would be especially handy to use ModelForms in such a sparse way in some scenarios.
