Update a a single field
Hi, I want to do something like this, I wish to make the 'fieldname' dynamic, I am just trying to update a field without a hard coded name... the name is passed in via a form. --- def updateProfile(request): fieldname = request.POST["id"] fieldid = int(request.POST["profileid"]) fieldvalue = request.POST["value"] pe = Profile.objects.get(id=fieldid) pe.[fieldname] = fieldvalue# <--- I want to pass the name of the field to save() pe.save() return HttpResponse('Saved we hope', mimetype="application/json") --- Hope this makes sense.
