CreateView不在提交时保存，而是在UpdateView上保存

Question

I've been scratching my head on this for 2 days now, hoping someone can help me figure out what I am missing.

I was able to submit before, but changed something, and I can't figure out what.

When I try and add a new Client, the page just reloads, doing nothing.

But when I go and edit one that is already created (using the admin console) it works as expected.

Answer 1

I was able to get help from GinFuyou on #Django on via irc.Freenode.net

The issue was that I need to have enctype="multipart/form-data" on client_form.html

full line should be

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">

This is due to having files upload to the form.
