The page is titled 'Working with forms' yet there is no example of editing and existing instance of a model. This example refers to 'the standard pattern' it should also cover the case
form = ContactForm(request.POST,instance=anInstance)

Punting from 1.2; we can always add this later when there's time.

I think this ticket needs to be closed, there are lots of example about that on the documentation. Isn't that?

Thanks for checking, it might be that the documentation has evolved since the bug was open.

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The suggested location is wrong as the docs referenced are talking about forms, not modelforms. However, the full example of modelforms could do with such an example.
