[Answered ]-Can't update User and UserProfile in one View?

UpdateView is only made to handle one model with no relations. However, the wonderful django-extra-views library provides CBVs for models and inline relations. 

class UserProfileInline(InlineFormSet):
    model = models.UserProfile
    form = UserProfileUpdateForm
    extra = 0
    def get_factory_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super(UserProfileInline,self).get_factory_kwargs()
        kwargs.update({"min_num": 1})
        return kwargs

class UserCreate(CreateWithInlinesView):
    model=User
    inlines = [UserProfileInline]
    form_class = UserForm
    success_url = reverse('some-success-url')
    # REQUIRED - fields or exclude fields of User model
    template_name = 'your_app/user_profile_update.html'

Be sure to check out the documentation for information on the variables passed to your template and how to work with inline formsets.

You have to create second form for User as well. Then pass it to the same UpdateView as a second form_class.

Note*: you may need to override get and post methods for UpdateView. This SO answer might help.

Render both forms in one template under one <form> tag:

<form action="" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ first_form }}
    {{ second_form }}
</form>
