CRUD not able to displaly model instances in template to update - django

Question

I have an app project. I am able to save instances to the model in the database no problem. But I cannot pull in the instance by pk to the html form to edit and update. please see setup below can anyone provide any guidence or help, as to why this is not happening and how I can resolve?
views.py
def edit_properties(request, id):
properties = Properties.objects.get(pk=id)
context = {
'properties': properties,
'values': properties,
}
if request.method == 'GET':
return render(request, 'sub/edit_properties.html', context)

Answer 1

you better use ModelForm to update data in your models
class PropertiesEditForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Properties
then you need to update your view to use this form
def edit_properties(request, id=None):
properties = Properties.objects.get(pk=id) if id else None
form = PropertiesEditForm(request.POST or None, instance=properties)
if request.POST:
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("url_to_show_your_new_data")
context = {
'form': form,
}
return render(request, 'sub/edit_properties.html', context)
and in html file you use this form
<form method="POST" action="URL_TO_EDIT_PROPERTIES_VIEW">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
<input type="submit"/>
</form>

Answer 2

Found the issue, in my html the "{{values.address1}}" should be "{{values.Address1}}" as the attribute in the database is capital first letter.
Little less stressed now :)
<div class="form-row my-3">
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
<label for="Addressline1">Address line 1</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="address1" id="address1Field"
value="{{values.address1}}">
</div>
Thank you all for your help,
