Django is not removing the values. Rather the browser does not send to the
server values for form elements that are disabled when the form is
submitted. The HTML 4 spec here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#disabled notes in
discussing an example "Therefore, it cannot receive user input nor will its
value be submitted with the form."
By setting the element to disabled you have done essentially the same thing
as excluding it from the from (as far as Django can see), and you are
similarly responsible for supplying values for fields that are not contained
in the submitted form. See the note here:
