Re: Django FormPreview: Save form data to database

Thanks. That's essentially what I ended up doing just with job = Job.objects.create(**cleaned_data)

Appreciate your help!

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice the form preview functionality.

CreateView simply call form.save() but it have access to a ModelForm.
I assume you want to create the object and save it in the done function.

I would try that:

    def done(self, request, cleaned_data):
        job = Job(**cleaned_data)
        job.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect(url_for("job:success")
