Django template variable removes content after whitespace - django

Question

I am having this very confusing issue and I could only find someone who had the same issue 9 year ago but it wasn't solved : Posting a hidden field with whitespace removes content after whitespace.
First of all I'm very new to programming so pardon me if this is a very obvious issue and if my bug is very ugly !
Basically I am trying to pass the content of a variable through the value parameter of an input tag inside of a form. This variable contains strings separated by whitespaces ("test space space")
My goal is to then manipulate this data in a view through request.POST
The issue is that the first word gets passed just fine but anything after the first whitespace isn't passed to the database.
Note that I am using the same variable elsewhere in the same template and the entire title is displayed without issue
Here is my view :
#login_required
def watchlist(request):
user = request.user
all_watched_auctions = WatchedAuction.objects.all()
user_watched_auctions=all_watched_auctions.filter(user_id=user.id)
if request.method == "POST" :
auction_info = request.POST
user_id = auction_info.get('user_id')
auction_id = auction_info.get('auction_id')
title = request.POST.get('title')
# #creating a watched auction
auction_to_watch = WatchedAuction(user_id=user_id, auction_id=auction_id, is_watched=True, title=title)
# #preventing duplicates
if auction_id not in user_watched_auctions:
auction_to_watch.save()
test = user_watched_auctions.values_list("auction_id", flat=True)
active_listings = Listing.objects.filter(status="ACTIVE")
return render(request,"auctions/watchlist.html",{
"watchlist" : test,
"listings" : active_listings,
"user" : user,
})
And here is the template. You can skip to the end. That's where the troublesome form is :
{% extends "auctions/index.html" %}
{% block title %} {{listing.title}}{% endblock %}
{% block h2 %}
{% if listing.status == "ACTIVE" %}
<h2>Listing is active</h2>
{% else %}
<h2>Listing is inactive</h2>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
{% if messages %}
<ul class="messages">
{% for message in messages %}
<li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}"{% endif %}>{{ message }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
<div>
<div>{% block test1 %}
{% if test.id == listing.id %}
{{block.super}}
</div>
<div>
</div>
{% if listing.author_id == user_id and listing.status == "ACTIVE" %}
</div>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<a href="">
<button> Close listing </button>
</a>
</form>
{% endif %}
{% if listing.author_id != user_id and listing.status == "ACTIVE" %}
<form action="{% url 'watchlist' %}" method="post" value="test.id">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="hidden" name="user_id" value={{user_id}}>
<input type="hidden" name="auction_id" value={{listing.id}}>
<input type="hidden" name="is_valid" value=True>
<input type="hidden" name="title" value={{listing.title}}>
<button type="submit"> add to watchlist</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
Thanks a lot to anyone taking the time to help me !

Most Probably this is due to lack of quotes between actual value value="actual_value". You can use single quotes or double quotes according to your html. Please try this way. It may work.
<input type="hidden" name="user_id" value="{{user_id}}">
<input type="hidden" name="auction_id" value="{{listing.id}}">
<input type="hidden" name="is_valid" value="True">
<input type="hidden" name="title" value="{{listing.title}}">
<button type="submit"> add to watchlist</button>
