How can I fill up form with model object data?

Question

I want to fill up form with data from model instance. But my form has less fields than model. If I have code like this:

    name = model         


        

Answer 1

def bound_form(request, id): 
    item = Item.objects.get(id=id) 
    form = ItemForm(initial={'name': item.name}) 
    return render_to_response('bounded_form.html', {'form': form})
