Hi,
if the form is bound (i.e. form.is_bound is true) then you can access
its data attribute, which contains the data entered into the form.
If the form is valid (i.e. form.is_valid() is true), then you can
access the cleaned_data attributes as well.
So for example if you have form like this:
f = MyForm({ "last_name": "some_value"})
you can access the value in template in this way
{{ f.data.last_name }}
or alternatively, if your form is valid you can use:
{{ f.cleaned_data.last_name }}
Just bear in mind, that the two values can be different since
cleaned_data the result of some processing in the validation methods.
hope it helps,
