    office_number = models.CharField(max_length=64)

Solution 1:

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.
   ....

Solution 2:

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)
        ...

Solution 3:

forms.py Defines 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']
