Editing forms in django

[amanjot kaur]

What should I need to do in django, if I want to edit the information
filled in django, like we edit our profile in facebook after filling
once?

That means editing the already saved data?

Assuming you are using a ModelForm, use the instance keyword argument,
and pass the model you are updating.

So, if you have MyModel and MyModelForm, then your code might look like:

my_record = MyModel.objects.get(id=XXX)
form = MyModelForm(instance=my_record)

And then, when the user sends back data by POST:

form = MyModelForm(request.POST, instance=my_record)
