How to update specific model fields using Django UpdateView - django

How can you update certain model fields when a form is posted using Django's UpdateView?
When the user checks complete = True on the form, and submits it, I want their name and date to be saved to this record (fields not visible on the form). The code below isn't throwing any errors, but it also isn't updating the fields requested.
Is it potentially because the view is already updating this record with the form, so they conflict?
view:
class maintenanceEdit(LoginRequiredMixin,UpdateView,):
model = Maintenance
form_class = EditMaintenance
template_name = 'maintenance_edit.html'
login_url = 'login'
success_url = reverse_lazy('equipmentdashboard')
def form_valid(self, form,):
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.user = self.request.user
user = instance.user.first_name +" "+instance.user.last_name
completed = form.instance.completed
dateCompleted = form.instance.dateCompleted
if (dateCompleted is None):
if completed == True:
updateMaintenance = Maintenance.objects.get(id = instance.id)
updateMaintenance.dateCompleted = timezone.now()
updateMaintenance.completedBy = user
updateMaintenance.save(update_fields=['dateCompleted','completedBy',])
return super(maintenanceEdit, self).form_valid(form)
model:
class Maintenance(models.Model):
device = models.ForeignKey(get_user_model(),on_delete=models.CASCADE,)
customerTag = models.CharField(max_length=50,)
maintenanceItem = models.CharField(max_length=35,blank=True,)
maintenanceDescrip = models.TextField(max_length=300,blank=True,)
maintenanceNotes = models.TextField(max_length=300,blank=True,)
dateCreated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True,)
dateDue = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False, null=True, blank=True, editable=True)
dateCompleted = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False, null=True, blank=True, editable=True)
completed = models.BooleanField(default = False)
createdBy = models.CharField(max_length=35,blank=True,)
completedBy = models.CharField(max_length=35,blank=True,)
form:
class EditMaintenance(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(EditMaintenance, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['maintenanceItem'].required = True
self.fields['dateDue'].required = True
class Meta:
model = Maintenance
fields = ['maintenanceItem','dateDue','maintenanceDescrip',
'maintenanceNotes','completed',]
labels = {
'maintenanceItem': ('Maintenance Item'),
'dateDue': ('Maintenance Due'),
'maintenanceDescrip': ('Maintenance Description'),
'maintenanceNotes': ('Maintenance Notes'),
'completed': ('Complete Maintenance'),
}
I also tried, in my view:
def form_valid(self, form,):
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.user = self.request.user
user = instance.user.first_name +" "+instance.user.last_name
completed = form.instance.completed
dateCompleted = form.instance.dateCompleted
if (dateCompleted is None):
if completed == True:
Maintenance.objects.filter(id = instance.id).update(dateCompleted = timezone.now(),completedBy = user)
return super(maintenanceEdit, self).form_valid(form)

I have pass branch in session.
I want to save with branch which is many to many field
def Add_Vendor(request): # for vendor add
msg = ""
msg_type = ""
branch_id = request.session['branch_id']
branch_data = Branch.objects.get(id = branch_id)
form = ""
if request.method == "POST":
try:
form = VendorForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid:
vendor_add = form.save(commit=False)
vendor_add.created_by = request.user
vendor_add.instance.branch = branch_data.id
vendor_add.save()
form.save_m2m() # for m to m field save
msg_type = "success"
msg = "Vendor Added."
form = VendorForm(initial={'branch':branch_id})
except:
msg_type = "error"
msg = str(form.errors)
print(msg)
else:
form = VendorForm(initial={'branch':branch_id})

'tree_main_title':'Vendor',
'v_url':'vendor_page',
'tree_title':'Add Form',

return render(request, 'base/vendor_master/form_vendor.html',context)
I would advise not to work with commit=False in the first place:
def Add_Vendor(request): # for vendor add
branch_id = request.session['branch_id']
branch_data = get_object_or_404(Branch, pk=branch_id)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = VendorForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.instance.created_by = request.user
form.instance.branch = branch_data.id
vendor_add = form.save()
vendor_add.branch.add(branch_data)
return redirect('name-of-some-view')
else:
form = VendorForm()
context = {
'form': form,
'branch_data': branch_data,
'btn_type': 'fa fa-regular fa-plus',
'form_title': 'Vendor Form',
'tree_main_title': 'Vendor',
'v_url': 'vendor_page',
'tree_title': 'Add Form',
}
return render(request, 'base/vendor_master/form_vendor.html', context)
You can simplify your form by automatically adding form-control to each widget:
class VendorForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for field in self.fields.values():
attrs = field.widget.attrs
attrs['class'] = attrs.get('class', '') + ' form-control'
class Meta:
model = Vendor
exclude = ['created_by', 'branch']
Note: In case of a successful POST request, you should make a redirect
[Django-doc]
to implement the Post/Redirect/Get pattern [wiki].
This avoids that you make the same POST request when the user refreshes the
browser.
Note: You can set a field editable=False [Django-doc]. Then the field does not show up in the ModelForms and ModelAdmins by default. In this case for example with created_by.
Note: It is normally better to make use of the settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL [Django-doc] to refer to the user model, than to use the User model [Django-doc] directly. For more information you can see the referencing the User model section of the documentation.
Note: Please do not pass messages manually to the template. Django has the messages framework [Django-doc], which allows to add messages to the request, which will then be delivered the next time a template renders these messages. This makes delivering multiple messages convenient, as well as setting different log levels to the messages.

Django UpdateView Two Seperate Form Save (included inlineformset_factory)

I have a specific problem with my forms. I think it would be better to share my codes instead of explaining the problem in detail.
However, to explain in a nutshell; inside my model I have field OneToOneField and model of that field has inlineformset_factory form. My new model also has a form and I want to save both forms.
I get the following error when I want to save the offer update form:

I solved my problem. I created a button function that creates a new model with inheritance of other model fields. In this way, there is no need to edit the form of the other model inside the form of my current model.

Why in unit test object's field doesn't change in Django

I don't understand why my test doesn't work. I have a page with product. There is a form with button 'Buy product'. After pushing this button, if a client have enough money, the item will bought and the amount of money in the account will change. But in my test the amount of money will be the same after buying a product, although the object(purchased item) will be created.
Purchased item model:
class BoughtItem(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100, verbose_name='Название товара или акции', blank=True)
price = models.IntegerField(verbose_name='Цена', blank=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
money = models.IntegerField(default=0)
form:
class BuyForm(forms.ModelForm):

model = BoughtItem
fields = ('name',)
widgets = {'name': forms.HiddenInput()}
view:
class ItemDetailView(generic.DetailView):
model = Item

item = self.get_object()

if user.money >= item.price:
sum_difference = user.money - item.price
user.money = sum_difference
user.save()
purchase.name = item.name
purchase.price = item.price
purchase.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('account', kwargs={'username': request.user.username}))

for img in self.request.FILES.getlist('product_images'):
ProductImages(product = product_form, product_image = img).save()
super(ProductCreate, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)
Problem statement :
form.save( commit = False ) returning Product instance but product id is None. Is it illegal to expect object id as object is not yet saved to db?
Yes. The id is allocated by the database, and since commut=False explicitly means "don't send to the db", it won't have an id.
