Getting __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'instance' with CreateView of Django

I suspect class UserForm should be model form. You may want to change fields, but it should be derived from `ModelForm.

So change form definition to

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):   class Meta:       model = User       fields = [...] # list of fields you want from model   #or define fields that you want.   ....

I override __init__() method incorrectly, without initial arguments, as show below

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):    ...    def __init__(self):        super(CaseForm, self).__init__()        ...

And get this error as result

TypeError at /case/create

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'initial'

To fix it, I set arguments to __init__() and pass them when call super class __init__(), see result below

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):    ...    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):        super(CaseForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)        ...

forms.pyDefines Fields in Square Brackets like fields=['field 1', 'field 2',...]

class CustomerForm(forms.ModelForm):            class Meta:        model = Customer        fields = ['fname','lname','email','address','city','state','zip','username','password','age','mobile','phone']
