Hi Dmitry

You don't need to pass the Digital instance to the form.

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render

from . import forms
from . import models


def product_form(request):
    form = forms.DigitalProductForm()
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = forms.DigitalProductForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('products:create'))
    return render(request, 'products/product_form.html', {'form': form})
