Attribute error 'QueryDict' object has no attribute '_meta'

Question

I'm trying to send a post request from PostMan into my Django view and I'm getting this error. "AttributeError: 'QueryDict' object has no attribute '_meta'" From what I've gathered it has something to do with the form.save() as seen in traceba I've searched all over to find a solution or even a better way to achieve an image post from a external web client to a Django server. All help is very much appreciated.

Traceback

Answer 1

so after looking around as a smart individual I realized i have not defined what save() function is... so now i do

The code that fixed the error but still not working

    def save(self):
    img = Image(
               img =self.validated_data['img'],
        )
