You're almost there, just make sure to initiate your form with the instance during POST requests. So move this line to before the if/ else: customer = get_object_or_404(Customer, pk=customer_id) And change form = CustomerForm(request.POST) to form = CustomerForm(request.POST, instance=customer). That will let the model know you're working with an existing record and will automatically update the record instead of creating it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
