Cannot Update Custom User (AbstractUser)

Question

I am using a custom user model which inherits from the AbstractUser and when I save a user it works well. But whenI need to update the model and I click on my submit button on my template nothing happens. Nothing shows in the console, the page does not reload, nothing. I would really appreciate some guidance here?

Answer 1

After the page has been rendered, view page source. check if crispy form actually included the form tags.

i have not used crispy forms before but i have to ask, shouldn't you somehow descripbe where the form ends?

maybe you are missing something to the tune of...

{% end crispy forms %}
