I believe it is because of this line; LayoutUpdateForm = LayoutForm(MyLayout). The first argument to a Django Form is data, but you want to use the instance arguments [1]. Try changing it to LayoutUpdateForm = LayoutForm(instance=MyLayout).

NOTE: This assumes your LayoutForm is inherited from forms.ModelForm.
