hi, I have a modelform to which I have added a bunch of extra fields by overriding __init__(). Adding a new instance works fine, I use fm=Myform(request.POST) and fm.save() saves the Model, and then I can access request.POST directly for the information in the extra fields and save them to their own model. But when editing an existing model instance, I am unable to succeed. I create a dic for the data in the extra fields, and do form=Myform(data=data,instance=instance). This correctly displays the data in the extra fields, but only some of the data in the the Model. I tried passing the data as initial data to the overridden __init__. The data displays properly, but the line Myform(request.POST,instance=instance) crashes with a key error - the keys in request.POST that are not found in instance. Question is: can this be done, or should I go back to using normal forms? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS http://certificate.nrcfoss.au-kbc.org.in
