[Fixed]-Ways to process a post request in django view and re-send it to another view

Views are nothing more than functions in python so there isn’t anything stopping you from just passing the parameters into a separate view. Whether or not thats always a good thing is a different thing

def view_a(request):
    # Logic here
    return view_b(request)

Based on your comment:

What you’re trying to do seems like a long winded way of something that can be achieved with the .get method 

last_name = request.POST.get('last_name', generate_name())

What this would do is use the last name if its provided, otherwise it will generate one.

If you’re using a form, you can do the same kind of thing, just in the clean method

def clean_last_name(self):
    last_name = self.cleaned_data.get('last_name')
    if last_name:
        return last_name
    else:
        return generate_name()
