[Fixed]-How to save changed fields with ModelForm?

✅

The initial argument and the instance argument in your call to SettingsForm() serve the exact same purpose, because you are using the fields of the instance individually in each field of initial.

The save() method is not working because you need to populate the form with data from request.POST.

This view should work:

def settings(request):    
    settingsObj = Settings.objects.get(id=1)
    if request.POST:
        form = SettingsForm(request.POST, instance=settingsObj)    
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
    else:
        form = SettingsForm(instance=settingsObj)

    context = { ..., 'form': form, ... }
    return render(request, 'template-address', context)
