Form values not changing on ASP MVC

I have an edit form, that when posted, if successful should move on to the next record

Here is a snippet of the code in the controller:

    if (issues.Count == 0)
    {
        Service.Save(item);
        Service.SaveChanges();
        return Edit(NextId, listingName);
    }
    else
    {
        ModelState.AddRuleViolations(issues);
    }

    return Edit(item.id, listingName);

The id for the next record is correctly passed to the action, but the autogenerated form still has the values of the old item, rather than the new one. I have debugged it and the item is getting loaded and passed to the view fine.

Try to do a RedirectToAction instead of returning the View directly.

return RedirectToAction("Edit", new { id = NextId, listingName = listingName });

Also, you are sending the same value of listingName in both cases (validation error and success). Is this correct?

Have you tried to return the Edit View explicitly instead of returning the method call?

Like so:

return View("Edit", NextId);

Perhaps it is still containing the old posted values and tries to repopulate the model accordingly...
