Can you help with why this code does not answer the challenge question?
from django.shortcuts import render
from . import forms
def product_form(request):
form = forms.DigitalProductForm(request.POST)
return render(request, 'products/product_form.html', {'form':form})
<form action='' method='POST'>
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_ul }}
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>

We are not posting anything to the form just yet rather interested in rendering the form via a GET request. So you dont need to pass request.POST to the form.
def product_form(request):
form = forms.DigitalProductForm() # dont pass request.POST to the form
return render(request,'products/product_form.html',{'form':form})
<form action='' method='POST'>
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_ul}}
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
Hope that helps
