How does django pass data through post?

Hi,

I have been working on a small project for myself and some friends, and I seem to have hit a hitch in getting it to work as expected.

In my detail view, I have a small simple form:

    <form class="inline" action="/app/action/" method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
       <button type="submit">Prepare</button>
    </form>

My main list view and detail view are class based views, with me attempting to use a FBV for prepare because it seems simpler to understand. I've put a breakpoint in the "action" view, and tried to inspect the request and see data from clicking the button come through, but I don't see it. I am clearly missing something about how django sends POST data. I have tried adding the following in bold to see how to get the data through, as well as adding *args, **kwargs, as well as positional and named keyword arguments to my "action" FBV:

    <form class="inline" action="/app/action/" method="POST" id="{{ obj.id }}" objid="{{ obj.id }}">
    {% csrf_token %}
        {{obj.id}}
        <input type="hidden" value="{{obj.id}}" />
       <button type="submit">Prepare</button>
    </form>

If anyone can explain what I'm missing, it'd be greatly appreciated!
