I have created a form named as AttendanceForm :

class AttendanceForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Attendance
        fields = '__all__'

These are models

class Employee(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=1)
    eid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    salary = models.IntegerField()
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=6, choices=GENDER_CHOICES, default=1)
    contactno = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    email = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    pincode = models.IntegerField()
    address = models.CharField(max_length=60)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user.first_name   ' '   self.user.last_name


class Attendance(models.Model):
    employee = models.ForeignKey(Employee, on_delete=models.CASCADE, default=1)
    attendancedate = models.DateField()
    in_time = models.TimeField()
    out_time = models.TimeField()
    description = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.employee)

view for attendance.

@csrf_exempt
def addattendance(request):
    form = AttendanceForm()
    emp_list = Employee.objects.all()
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = AttendanceForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save(commit=True)
            return redirect('employee/detail_attendance')

    return render(request, 'employee/addattendance.html', {'form': form, 'emp_list': emp_list})

I tried everything, but I don't know why the data is not saving into the database. Also, models are created fine, and the main thing is that there are no errors coming up.  Please let me know if any changes are required.

I can suggest simple solution with Class-Based-Views:

from django.views.generic.edit import FormView

def AddAttendanceFormView(FormView):
    form_class = AttendanceForm
    extra_context = {"emp_list": Employee.objects.all()}
    success_url = reverse_lazy('employee/detail_attendance')
    template_name = 'employee/addattendance.html'

    def post(self, *args, **kwargs):
        form = self.get_form()
        if form.is_valid():
            return self.form_valid(form)
        return self.form_invalid(form)

Remember, that in urls.py you need to use .as_view() for class based views, like:

path((...), AddAttendanceFormView.as_view())

Also, you will not need @csrf_exempt, just put {% csrf_token %} anywhere inside your form's template.
