Hey, I have a Model with a Model Form and I want to use for every Field of the Model another Form so I can use them on diffrent pages. Is that possible? I tried something by my own forms.py from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm from django.contrib.auth.models import User from d…

I did it, it works :slight_smile: Thanks a lot @login_required(login_url='home:login') def AccountInfoPrename(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = AccountInfoPrenameForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): article = Account.objects.get(user=re…

I think about using the update or create method again to prevent making more than one entry, is that a good idea or the wrong way?

okay so I have to find out which AccountModel object instance belongs to the user using the form, and Im doing that in the views right?

I tried something, I know the code how I used it is completely wrong but is the idea I had behind that code right? @login_required(login_url='home:login') def AccountInfoPrename(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = AccountInfoPrenameForm(request.POST) if for…

Yes, that’s correct.

As an example, see the first example on Creating forms from models. Also see the second part of the first example in the save method docs.
