I have a form which is editing a database entry and saving the changes back to the database. after the changes are saved, I want to redirect to a contract.html, where I want to populate the details of that entry. below is the view: *def edit_res(request, pk=None):

if request.method == 'POST':
    resident_form = EditItemForm(request.POST)
    if resident_form.is_valid():
        key = int(request.POST['id'])
        resident = Resident.objects.get(pk=key)
        resident_form = EditItemForm(request.POST, instance=resident)
        resident_form.save()
    #form = EditItemForm(request.POST, instance=key)
    #resident = get_object_or_404(Resident, pk=key)
    #form = EditItemForm(request.POST, instance=key)
    #if form.is_valid():
        #form.save()
        #return HttpResponse('Saved form')
        return redirect('Contract')

else:
    item = Resident.objects.get(pk=pk)
    form = EditItemForm(instance=item)
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form'] = form
args['id'] = pk

return render_to_response('reg_form/edit.html', args)*

currently after the edited entry is saved, I redirected it to the Contract.html page. I am trying to write a function, which can be called above to return the data from the database: def res(request,in_res_id): data=Resident.objects.get(res_id=in_res_id) return TemplateResponse(request,'Contract.html',{'data':data})

My contract.html is like, where I want to populate the column value for res_fname : *This skilled nursing facility Admission Agreement is entered into between Located at and _{{data.res_fname}} (hereinafter “Resident”) *
