success_url = None

The URL to redirect to upon successful update.

Important

It is highly recommended you specify this field in order to prevent fields becoming unintentionally presented to the user.

Note that this method is called by the default implementation of get_object and may not be called if get_object is overriden.

get_object(query=None)
