How to update database value in django on a button click - django

Question

I have a template that contains one search button (this is for filtering the details based on option choose in the select) and a Next button (this is to move to next tab).
When the template loads for then i will search for projects from the select list and the result will be displayed in a table - which is working for me.
After the result is displayed in the table, i will select a row (through radio button) from that table and click on Next button to move to next tab. Here when i click the Next button i want to update some values in the django database but not able to achieve this. Can some one help me?
My View:
def form(request):
projects = CreateProjects.objects.filter(Status=True)
if request.method == 'POST':
selectproject = request.POST.get('selectproject')
searchprojlist = ListProjDetails.objects.filter(Project=selectproject)
return render(request,'form.html',{'projects':projects,'lists': searchprojlist})
elif request.POST.get('tab1btn','') == 'nxttab':
selval = ListProjDetails.objects.get(id=1)
selval.Selected = True
selval.LockedUser = request.user
selval.save()
else:
lists = ListProjDetails.objects.all()
return render(request,'form.html',{'projects':projects})
First If POST is working correctly, trouble is with the 2nd IF (2nd button). I have swapped the 2nd IF to be called fresh after the else statement but not working either.
I have passed id=1 for testing purpose only
enter image description here
I have added the image for better understanding, basically when the template loads select project from the list and Search and then choose one from the output and press next that moves to next tab by updating values like select to True and Locked User to current user.
My view as explained before.
My Javascript:
$(function(){
$('#nexttab').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(document.getElementById('selectradio').checked){
$('#tabs a[href="#tab2"]').tab('show');
}
});
})
Template:
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row ml-auto">
<select class="custom-select mb-4 ml-2" name="selectproject" style="width: 30em;">
<option selected>Choose...</option>
{% for projects in projects %}
<option>{{ projects.ProjName}}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<div class="ml-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Search">Search</button>
</div>
</div>
<table class="table">

<td class="text-center">
{% if lists.DStatus == "Available" %}
<label class="badge badge-success">
{% else %}
<label class="badge badge-warning">
{% endif %}
{{ lists.DStatus }}</td>
</tr>
{% endfor %}
</tbody>

I am just trying to re-factor your code, you should be able to pickup then.
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.urls import reverse
def form(request):
projects = CreateProjects.objects.filter(Status=True)
if request.method == 'POST':
if request.POST.get('tab1btn','') == 'nxttab':
selval = ListProjDetails.objects.get(id=1)
selval.Selected = True
selval.LockedUser = request.user
selval.save()
return redirect(reverse('name-of-the-view')) # redirect to form.html
selectproject = request.POST.get('selectproject')
searchprojlist = ListProjDetails.objects.filter(Project=selectproject)
return render(request,'form.html',{'projects':projects,'lists': searchprojlist})
else:
lists = ListProjDetails.objects.all()
return render(request,'form.html',{'projects':projects})
