edit

After submiting the form, I'm getting this url

localhost/add/?csrfmiddlewaretoken=PVjqYnZNwJZpHuObu1OXNSnIekeqMVVeNIIxTkr2UFH7ii83QScfGdBrX5HjmZCe&Nome=test&Cpf=00000000000&Data=1998-12-14

Why is that ?

Answer 1

You've set the form_class in that view to be Trabalhadores, which is the model, instead of TrabalhadoresForm, which is the form.

Answer 2

You have to put your form_class is equals to your form

Like form_class =TrabalhadoresForm , because you are creating view using your from class and data will be pass through your model class Same for all type of Django generic class view
