    1. COWhat's wrong with what you have? `cleaned_data['discard_word']` is a boolean value indicating the status of the field. Although note you should compare to `None` and `False` with `==`, but `if foo is None` and `if not bool_value`.

    3. COMaybe you should show the rest of the view. What is FormSet, for example? And what is in the template?

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.
