This is true. Quoting from http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/request_response/#attributes : "All attributes except session should be considered read-only." (for an HttpRequest instance). > So does that mean I need to create a data field that > populates my entire form again > > data = {'seen_updates': 1'', > ... 'b_name': request['b_name'], > ...

Then you can alter 'data' as it's just a dictionary (well, it's actually a QueryDict, as documented at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/request_response/#querydict-objects but the difference is mostly academic for most uses).
