django-forms-builder. How do I update a form?

Question

I am using django-forms-builder in my project and there is just one thing i cant get my head around. How do i set up an update form to edit a filled out form?

Here is my attempt at making an update form for django-forms-builder

urls.py

url('forms/update/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', FormUpdateView.as_view(),
                                 name='form-update'),

views.py

class FormUpdateView(UpdateView):
    model = FieldEntry
    template_name = 'form/update_form.html'
    form_class = FormForForm
    success_url = '/assessments/all/'

update-form.py

{% render_built_form id=form_instance.id %}

I haven't used this software yet but it could fill a spot in my arsenal so I took a stab at it. I'm not using CBV because I'm still just poking around. This is the get part only, I can expand on how to handle the post part (and preferably do it with CBV) on the weekend. It's relatively straightforward to implement post with view functions ( if request.METHOD == "POST":#update the row ). The render is of course just plain raw HTML but forms_builder doesn't offer any styling input. You probably want to tack the user onto the FormEntry, I don't have a good idea about authorization yet. I'll give it some thought and amend the answer.

views.py

from forms_builder.forms.models import Form

def get_form(request, slug, pk):
    form_obj = Form.objects.get(slug=slug)
    form_instance = form_obj.entries.get(pk=pk)
    form = FormForForm(form=form_obj, instance=form_instance, context=request)
    return render_to_response('update_form.html', {'form':form_instance.form, 'request':request})

templates/update_form.html

{{ form.as_p }}
