Django表单，用户输入字段未在模板中呈现

Question

Django newb here, but I'm learning.

Problem Statement

Input fields not rendering in html template.

Output in Browser

True

| Submit Button |

Relevant Code

forms.py
from django import forms
from django.db import models

class PostNotes(forms.Form):
    clientid = models.IntegerField()
    notetext = models.CharField(max_length=1000)

-

views.py
def post_form_notes(request):
    if request.method == 'GET':
        sawit = True
        form = PostNotes(initial={'notetext':'This is a sample note'})
    else:
        sawit = False
        pass
    return render(request, 'clientadmin/post_form_notes.html', {
        'form': form,
        'sawit': sawit,
    })

-

post_form_notes.html
{{ sawit }}
<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Troubleshooting Already Done

• I have backed out a fair amount of the code (specifically if I see a POST) request from the browser. No change.
• I have also included a variable to ensure I am seeing the GET request and also the template variables are working. I get output of True.
• Simplified the Form Class as much as possible.

Answer 1

I modified the forms.py to use the model I already had for the DB.

forms.py:

from django.forms import ModelForm
from clientadmin.models import notes

class PostNotes(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = notes
        fields = ['notedate', 'notetext']

I also modified the views.py to not set an initial value, so the function uses the following instead of what was asked.

models.py:

def post_form_notes(request):
    if request.method == 'GET':
        form = PostNotes()
    else:
        pass
    return render(request, 'clientadmin/post_form_notes.html', {
        'form': form,
    })

Hope this helps someone that was having the same problem I was...
