    <p>If these variables are intended to populate a form, then you can safely pass the <code>request.POST</code> object directly into the form constructor.</p> <pre><code>if request.method == 'POST': form = MyForm(request.POST) </code></pre> <p>The form will automatically pass the correct values to the correct form fields <strike>and use defaults for keys that don't exist</strike> and will still create blank fields for missing keys (see addendum). </p> <p>If you are trying to process a form, it is still better to create a form object as above, and read out the values from that object.</p> <pre><code>if request.method == 'POST': form = MyForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): # You may process these variables here print form.appVersion print form.appName print form.appCodeName </code></pre> <p>Remember, validation code is best placed in the form class as well. That way, if <code>form.is_valid()</code> returns <code>True</code>, then you know you have a clean dataset to work with.</p> <p>Note: Django docs recommend using <code>request.POST</code> or <code>request.GET</code> directly rather than the amalgamated variable <code>request.REQUEST</code>, as it is more explicit.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong></p> <p>It is important to understand the difference between bound and unbound forms in this case. If you create an unbound form with <code>form = MyForm()</code>, then when the form is instantiated, it will fill in all fields with the <code>initial</code> property of each field (if it exists). For example, with this code: </p> <pre><code>from django import forms class MyForm(forms.Form): appVersion = forms.CharField(initial='1.0') appName = forms.CharField() appCodeName = forms.CharField() </code></pre> <p>the form will be initialized with appVersion having a value of '1.0'. However, if you bind a POST request to a form like this: <code>form = MyForm(request.POST)</code>, then the initial properties are ignored. That means if the POST dict does not include an appVersion key, then that field will be left blank. As long as the field is not required, your form will still validate, and you can modify <code>form.appVersion</code> in the view after validation. </p>

    3. COGreat answer. BTW, I will actually use POST, not REQUEST, I just was in test mode and find it easier to send through test cases with GET.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
