Thanks for the advice, Andréas.
But the response is the same:
File "C:\Users\ ... xxxxxxx ... \items\views.py", line 7, in
ItemUpdateView
fields = self.model.fields
NameError: name 'self' is not defined
As far as I understood, model is an attribute, not a method (though I'm new
to Python and Django, so I'm unsure about this).
Does attribute/method make a difference in this case?
cheers, Mikkel
