copied!<p>There are quite a few things wrong here, in addition to the QuerySet issue Arnaud points to.</p> <p>Firstly, when you instantiate the form in response to a GET, you do <code>contractForm = ContractForm(user)</code>. But the first parameter to a form instantiation (as you correctly do in the POST) is the posted data - and you haven't altered the form's <code>__init__</code> signature.</p> <p>Secondly, in the <code>__init__</code> itself, you reference a <code>user</code> variable: but you haven't actually got that variable from anywhere. You can't magically reference variables without receiving them from somewhere.</p> <p>So to fix those errors, you need to change the init method as follows:</p> <pre><code>def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): user = kwargs.pop('user') super(ContractForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['client'].queryset=Client.objects.filter(user=user) </code></pre> <p>and instantiate the form in the view like this:</p> <pre><code>contractForm = ContractForm(user=request.user) </code></pre> <p>Thirdly, although this is not related to the problem you post, you will never see any errors on this form, because you don't check it is valid in the POST section - you need to check <code>if contractForm.is_valid()</code>, and if not fall through to the final <code>render_to_response</code> (which needs to be unindented one level).</p> <p>Also, you are ignoring the whole point of having a form, by setting your model direct from <code>request.POST</code>. You should be using the contents of <code>contractForm.cleaned_data</code> to create the Contract instance. </p> <p>And finally, you should investigate whether a ModelForm would meet your needs better.</p>
