更新Django POST请求

Question

If my POST request doesn't have a Required field , (say password ), I need to set a temporary password to the field. Since it is set as Required field , we need to update the POST request somehow.

How can I implement it? Also recommend if there's any alternative method

Thank in advance,

The best way would be:

my_post_data = request.POST.copy()
if 'password' not in my_post_data:
     my_pass_data['password'] = password_generation_method();

and use my_post_data for rest of the code. No need to play with POST data.
