Description

When saving a form, I get this error message. It tells me which model is not correct and that it couldn't be created. But it gives me no clue what data is wrong. What is data, what is data expected to be. Which attribute is wrong.

You should check form.is_valid() before trying to save the form. If it returns False, then you can access form.errors to figure out which fields didn't validate. You can read more about how to use forms here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/
