Django Forms History

Django has several generations of quite different clever mechanisms to make creating HTML forms "easier". Yes, making them might be easier, but maintaining this opinionated stuff is a nightmare without adequately educating yourself how the architecture works. This will take time: do not hurry. + +

If you are a preofessional Django programmer, read this article for why Class Based Views are not a good fit for the community we have maintaining troggle.

WARNING: when reading the Django documentation on Forms (unbound and bound) and ModelForms, do not get diverted into looking at Formsets or ModelFormsets. We do not use any formsets in troggle - of any kind[*].
