Re: Creating a ModelForm without either the 'fields' attribute or the 'exclude' attribute is prohibited; form CommitmentForm needs updating

You need to set the fields attribute in the Meta class of your ModelForm:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/forms/modelforms/#selecting-the-fields-to-use

Or, if you are not using a custom ModelForm (Django is building it for you dynamically), then you need to specify the fields on your view:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/class-based-views/generic-editing/#model-forms
