Your error is in line request.project.save(), request doesn’t have project attribute.

And actually you don’t need to call save() method for project.

Because ProjectUpdateForm is the ModelForm and ModelForm.save() (Django docs) method will create a new instance of the specified model or update assigned instance.


@admin_check
def update(request, name):
    project = Project.objects.get(name = name)
    if request.method == "POST":
        pr_form = ProjectUpdateForm(request.POST,
                                    request.FILES,
                                    instance=project)
    #if is_admin in Member == True: #need to authenticate user, access user permissions, if user has permission:
        if pr_form.is_valid():
            # save() returns an instance object, you can use it to manipulate your object.
            instance = pr_form.save() 
            messages.success(request, f'This project has been updated.')
            # YOUR ERROR IS ⬇️ HERE request doesn't have project attribute
            # request.project.save()
            # redirect with arguments
            return redirect('project', name=instance.name)
    ...

Also your redirect must contain argument name, because your project url required name attribute:

redirect('project', name=instance.name)
