Description

​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/forms/ 

  else:
        errors = {}
        # This makes sure the form accurate represents the fields of the place.
        new_data = place.__dict__

When the object has a associated references, the dict approach does not populate those other items. I tracked down to understand why a custom view was not working but a generic view was.

that new_data should be replaced by place.flatten_data()
