In a view that creates a new object, successful creation should redirect to a different page for edit. Instead, redirect remains on the new object page with the data just used. Stepping through the code in Visual Studio code, the expression HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('meal:mealEdit', args=(id, ))…

Ahh - and something else I overlooked. (First, it would be return cleaned_data not return cleaned-data, which I suspect you have right, otherwise you would get an error). But more importantly, you need to return the HttpResponseRedirect… And that explains why you’re seeing what you’re seeing.
