DocumentForm(instance=d) I can't see anywhere in the docs where this is explicitly specified as the stock ModelForm API, but it is firmly implied by this page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/forms/modelforms/#modelform The first positional argument is expected to be data submitted by the browser.
