I think the reason why the data isn’t being given to the form is because you have overridden the get_form method without passing it the request.POST data. Instead of overriding that method, I think it’s more appropriate to override the get_form_kwargs method instead.

class CleanTeamMainContactView(LoginRequiredMixin, FormView):
    template_name = "cleanteams/main_contact.html"
    form_class = EditCleanTeamMainContact
    success_url = "mycleancity/index.html"

    def get_initial(self, clean_team_member):
        ...

    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        clean_team_member = self.request.user.profile.clean_team_member
        kwargs = {
            "initial": self.get_initial(clean_team_member),
            "clean_team": clean_team_member.clean_team
        }
        if self.request.method in ("POST", "PUT"):
            kwargs.update({
                "data": self.request.POST,
                "files": self.request.FILES
            })
        return kwargs

    def form_invalid(self, form, **kwargs):
        ...

    def form_valid(self, form):
        ...

This should hopefully fix the empty form.data issue but I’m not sure if the form will still be invalid or not.
