form is_valid django mathod code example
Example: django form_valid
If you save a form with commit=False, you must call the form's save_m2m method to save the many-to-many data. See the docs for more info.
If you decide to use the form_valid method, I would change the following things:
update the instance returned by form.save() and save it, instead of calling form.save() again.
explicitly call form.save_m2m()
return a redirect response instead of calling super().form_valid() (which will save the form again)
Putting that together, you get:
def form_valid(self, form):
product = form.save(commit=False)
product.user = self.request.user
product.location.location = user.user_location
product.save()
form.save_m2m()
return redirect('/success-url/')
