Solution 1 :

The hidden input field that you are referring to is the following:

<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="brsd4oO0qhMw2K8PyCIgSgEMqy7QFvEjTHaR6wTJmyWffJaCX5XyOMDLrGldZ3ji">

This is Django’s CSRF token, which you have correctly included in your form, and should always be an <input type="hidden".

You have not shown us your template code, but as long as you correctly pass the form variable to your template, the following code should work:

<form method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}

  Please enter your description here: {{ form.description }}

  <button>Submit</button>

  {% if not form %}
    You have forgot to add the <tt>form</tt> variable to your template!
  {% endif %}
</form>

Problem :

My problem is i set a form from a model to change the value of the field “description” of this model :

Model :

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    birth_date = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    profile_img = models.ForeignKey(Image,on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name='images',null=True)
    description = models.TextField()

Form :

class ChangeUserDescription(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ['description']
        widgets = {
            'description': forms.Textarea()
        }
        labels = {
            'description':'Description'
        }

template :

<form method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <button type="submit">Save changes</button>
</form>

But in result of this code I obtain this :

<input type="hidden" name="csrfmiddlewaretoken" value="brsd4oO0qhMw2K8PyCIgSgEMqy7QFvEjTHaR6wTJmyWffJaCX5XyOMDLrGldZ3ji">
<button type="submit">Save changes</button>

The issue is that i get : type=”hidden” in the input whereas i want it to be visible and i do not specified in the widgets that it must be hidden.
