"column user_id is not unique" actually i want to update it i tried the rform.save(force_update = True) but it didnt work how to solve this thing.

Answer 1

Every time when you save form, django creates new object. If you need to change(not create new) some object, you need first get object and then create form with instance of this object:

myobject = ...objects.get(....)
mform = MyForm(instance=myobject)

Answer 2

problem is solved

def status_change(request):
instance = get_object_or_404(register,pk=request.user.id)
