✅

The error looks trivial. In your template the form action has wizards url, which is url of create view. Hence when the form is submitted it goes to /wizard/create.

To able to use the template for both views, you can remove the action attribute from form tag. The form will be submitted to current url which can be create or edit.

So change your template to have form tag as

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

EDIT: To save item

Update your view as:

def done(self, form_list, **kwargs):
        for form in form_list:
           print form.initial
        if not self.request.user.is_authenticated():
                raise Http404
        id = form_list[0].cleaned_data['id']
        try:
                item = Item.objects.get(pk=id)
                print item
                instance = item
        except:
                item = None
                instance = None
        if item and item.user != self.request.user:
                print "about to raise 404"
                raise Http404
        if not item:
                instance = Item()

        #moved for out of if
        for form in form_list:
            for field, value in form.cleaned_data.iteritems():
                setattr(instance, field, value)
        instance.user = self.request.user
        instance.save()

        return render_to_response('wizard-done.html', {
                'form_data': [form.cleaned_data for form in form_list], })
