Couple of side notes here:

  • Please don’t try to describe the entire issue in the title. Use the title field for the shortest possible identification of the issue and post the complete description in the body of the post.

  • When you’re posting code here, enclose the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted.

(I’ve taken the liberty of editing your original post for this.)

First, I’d suggest you restructure your code to work with the form in the common Django pattern. This means you have one view to handle your form - both the GET and POST. (See the docs and examples in Working with forms.)

This also means you should be rendering your form as a form and not as individual HTML elements.

Additionally, every time you submit this form, you’re going to create a new instance of FormData, even if the information being saved is the same as a previous submission. This means you can create duplicate records, creating a potentially confusing situation.

Side question: Have you worked your way through the Official Django Tutorial? If not, you should. Is demonstrates the Django-appropriate way of handling forms.

You’ll probably also need to provide a more detailed description of the situation you’re encountering - including more specific information about what you’re submitting and what errors may be appearing in the runserver console.
