Changing request.POST values (QueryDict instance is immutable)
Posted: February 12th, 2010 | Author: Davo | Filed under: Django | Tags: querydictinstanceimmutable | No Comments »When trying to change the request.POST values an exception is raised with: QueryDict instance is immutable.
The request.POST is immutable which means you cannot change/alter it.
To cope this you will need to copy() it.
def something(request):
...
if request.method == 'POST':
post_values = request.POST.copy()
# post_values can now be changed. For instance if you have a
post_values['some_input'] = 'I am changing it!'
# this can be used for forms etc...
# Ex:
form = SomeForm(post_values)
...
