I need to set the value of a BooleanField from my Django model via the CreateView for my ModelForm. But for some reason, setting it in form_valid() isn't working.
Here's my model:
class Feedback(models.Model):
was_satisifed = models.BooleanField(
help_text='Returns true if the user exits the process early.',
default=False)
Here's my view:
class FeedbackActionMixin(object):
model = Feedback
form_class = FeedbackForm
def form_valid(self, form):
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.was_satisfied = True
return super(FeedbackActionMixin, self).form_valid(form)
The form submits, but the "was_satisfied" value is left at the default False. What am I missing?
Here's what I ended up doing, though in forms.py not views.py:
class SuccessfulFeedbackForm(FeedbackFormMixin, forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(SuccessfulFeedbackForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['was_satisifed'].initial = True
class UnsuccessfulFeedbackForm(FeedbackFormMixin, forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(UnsuccessfulFeedbackForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['was_satisifed'].initial = False
