@ -323,16 +323,19 @@ Since the Author model has only 3 fields, 'name', 'title', and
|
|||
to be empty, and does not provide a default value for the missing fields,
|
||||
any attempt to ``save()`` a ``ModelForm`` with missing fields will fail.
|
||||
To avoid this failure, you must instantiate your model with initial values
|
||||
for the missing, but required fields, or use ``save(commit=False)`` and
|
||||
manually set any extra required fields::
|

for the missing, but required fields::
|

|

instance = Instance(required_field='value')
|
||||
form = InstanceForm(request.POST, instance=instance)
|
||||
new_instance = form.save()
|
||||
author = Author(title='Mr')
|

form = PartialAuthorForm(request.POST, instance=author)
|

form.save()

instance = form.save(commit=False)
|

instance.required_field = 'new value'

new_instance = instance.save()
|

Alternatively, you can use ``save(commit=False)`` and manually set
|

any extra required fields::
|

|

form = PartialAuthorForm(request.POST)

author = form.save(commit=False)
|

author.title = 'Mr'
|

author.save()

``save(commit=False)``.
