Thanks. I get this error using that code:
TypeError at /report/detail/30/edit/
__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
This is referring to this line:
story_form = StoryForm(instance=story)
I added a "story_id" argument to this, which brought up the form, but when
I submitted it, it returned the form with errors listing all the fields as
empty.
This is far trickier than I thought.
