Django Model Form not saving to database (No error message)

Question

As per the above (title) my Django form is not saving, however, it does redirect to the correct page, the entry does not show on the admin page.

Please see the below code :

Views.py:

def newSetting(request):
    form = SettingsForm()

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SettingsForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()

    return render(request , 'main/newSetting.html' , {'form':form})

.HTML:

{% extends "main/base.html"%}



{% block content %}

  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form.Complex }}
  

  

  
    
      
          {{ form.Trial_balance_Year_to_date }}
      
      
         Trial balance YTD
      
    
  
  
    
      
          {{ form.Trial_balance_Monthly }}
      
      
         Trial balance Monthly
      
    
  
  
    
      
          {{ form.Income_Statement_Year_to_date }}

          {{ form.Age_Analysis }}
      
      
         Age Analysis
      
    
  
  
    
      
          {{ form.Balance_Sheet }}
      
      
         Balance Sheet
      
    
  
  
    
      
          {{ form.Repair_and_Maintenance_General_Ledger }}

Forms.py:

from django.forms import ModelForm
from .models import SettingsClass

class SettingsForm(ModelForm):
     class Meta:
         model = SettingsClass
         fields = '__all__'

Models.py:

class SettingsClass(models.Model):
    Complex = models.CharField(choices=complex_list , max_length = 2 ,default='1')
    Trial_balance_Year_to_date= models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Trial_balance_Monthly=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Income_Statement_Year_to_date=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Income_Statement_Monthly=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Age_Analysis=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Balance_Sheet=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Repair_and_Maintenance_General_Ledger=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    Mayor_capital_Items_General_Ledger=models.BooleanField(default = False)
    def __str__(self):
        return (self.Complex + ' Settings')

Admin.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import SettingsClass
# Register your models here.


class SettingsAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    pass
admin.site.register(SettingsClass, SettingsAdmin)

If any body knows what could cause this , please assist , there are no errors showing when the form is submitted...

Add the template test.html to the catalog and try this in views.py, to check whether the form is saved or not, and so use the print() function in the console to find out if the program is being executed at one stage or another:

def newSetting(request):
form = SettingsForm()

if request.method == 'POST':
    form = SettingsForm(request.POST)
    if form.is_valid():
        form.save()
        return render(request , 'main/test.html' , {'form':form})

return render(request , 'main/newSetting.html' , {'form':form})
