[Answered ]-POST to view not updating database

You can not make project the instance: your form works on an Event. By using instance=project you let the form edit attributes that belong to the event like event_name, but these will not be saved to the database, since a Project has no column event_name.

The view thus should take request.POST as data, and we set the .project of the Event wrapped in the form with:

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404

@login_required
def AddEvent(request,project_id):
    project = get_object_or_404(Project, pk=project_id)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = addEventForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.instance.project = project
            form.save()
            return redirect('http://127.0.0.1:8000/')
    else:
        form = addEventForm()
    return render(request, 'pages/add_event.html', {'project': project, "form": form})
