[Fixed]-Reset form Django with instance

✅

If you fetch the user from the db and use that as the form instance, then request.user should not change.

user = User.objects.get(id=request.user.id)
form_user = UserForm(request.POST or None, instance=user )

As an aside, it’s usually recommended to redirect after a successful post request (even if you redirect to the same url). You can also use the render shortcut to simplify your code:

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

def my_view(request):
    form_profile = UserProfileForm(request.POST or None, instance = UserProfile.objects.get(user = request.user))
    form_user = UserForm(request.POST or None, instance = request.user )
    if form_profile.is_valid() and form_user.is_valid():
        form_profile.save()
        form_user.save()
        return redirect('/success-url/')

    return render(request, 'users/user_edit.html', {"form_profile":form_profile, "form_user": form_user})
