How to get this auto-field id value

[David]

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve an autoField id value in my following code
when I update records.

def update_record(request):
if request.POST:
form = Model_Form(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save(pk=form.id, force_update=True)

I got an error that "Model_Form" object has no attribute 'id'.

Model_Form is a model-based form class that has an autoField id that
increases one by one. When I update a record, I need to give this
value.

I even tried "pk=form.pk", however it did not work either.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Thanks so much.

Just a little more information. The autoField id is in the model
class. Model_Form is a form based on this model class.

Any tips/suggestions are highly appreciated...

One tip is to wait more than eight hours before posting "please help me"
yet again.

ModelForm subclasses don't include any AutoField values. By definition,
they are *automatically* assigned by the database. If you're using an
AutoField, you don't set it yourself. If you want to manage the primary
key value yourself, don't make it an AutoField.
