It appears based on the error you are getting that in this case you are passing the existing object as the first positional argument? At any rate the model instance you are using appears to be getting assigned to the form data attribute, which could happen if you are passing the instance as the first positional argument when you create the form. I do not think the problem has anything to do with the names of the fields in your model but rather it has to do with exactly what code you are using to create the form when you have an existing instance you want to use.
