When I try to update my model, individually rendering the form fields using {{form.name.value}}, I get an error that my name field is required, and yet it is filled. I do not get the error if I render the form as a whole using {{form.as_p}} for example. What am I doing wrong?
I tried using {{form.as_p}} and it worked. But I need individual field rendering so I can style my form.
CodePudding user response:
You need to provide the name
attribute for each of your field <input>
tags. The field's html_name attribute should be used if rendering manually
<input name="{{ form.name.html_name }}" type="text" value="{{ form.name.value }}">
