I am trying to create an edit form for my model. I did not use a model form because depending on the model type, there are different forms that the user can use. (For example, one of the forms has a Tinymce widget, while the other doesn't.)
Is there any way of setting the initial data of a form (not a ModelForm) using a model?
I tried the following but getting an error:
b = get_object_or_404(Business, user=request.user)
form = f(initial = b)
where f is a subclass of forms.Form
The error I am getting is AttributeError: 'Business' object has on attribute 'get'
