Your code looks correct, but I use a little bit different and it’s working for me. I don’t use the action attribute in the form. By the way I’m using Django 4.0.7.

Below is an example:

views.py:

def items(request, slug, pk):
    next = request.POST.get('next', '{% url "process" slug=slug %}')
    item = Items.objects.get(item_id=pk)

    if request.POST.get('start', False):
        item.started = True     # BooleanField 'started' (default = False, setted in the Items model)
        item.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect(next)
    else:
        return render(request, 'items.html', {'slug':slug, 'pk':pk})

template:

<form method="post" >
   {% csrf_token %}
    <button type="submit" name="start" value="start" class="btn btn-warning mb-3">Start</button>
</form>

As you mentioned, you want:

The BooleanField whats i want to change it’s call "active" (true by default).

You can simply set default option as default=True to the field, so:

class Listing(models.Model):
    active=models.BooleanField(default=True)
