Re: Django not saving form in DB from frontend

I would try to replace

if form.is_valid():
new_form = form
new_form.save(commit=True)

with :

if form.is_valid():
print("Form is valid")
form.save(commit=True)
else:
print("Invalid form")


Pretty sure you will get an invalid form, due to a missing field
send_quote field. For the form to send the file, you need to add an
enctype=multipart or something related.
