I've developed registration functionality for my web application using a combination of form elements, a view, a registration template, and JavaScript modals. However, despite completing the registration process, the user data is not being saved to the database as expected.
Details:
Form: I have implemented a form for user registration. View: A corresponding view function handles the registration process. Template: I've created a registration template for rendering the registration form. JavaScript Modals: Modal dialogs are used for user interaction during the registration process.
Problem Statement: When I submit the registration form, the user data does not get stored in the database. I've verified that the form submission is successful, but somehow the data isn't persisting.
Expectation: Upon successful submission of the registration form, the user data should be saved to the database for future reference and authentication purposes.
Request for Assistance: I'm seeking guidance on what could be causing this issue and how to troubleshoot it effectively. Any insights, suggestions, or potential solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
My code:
Base code, containing JavaScript modals:

Forms code, containing registration form:
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']
View code, containing registration view
def register_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserRegistrationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect("index")
else:
form = UserRegistrationForm()
print(form.errors)
context = {'register_form': form}
return render(request, 'registration/register.html', context)
Template code, containing the register.html template.
<form class="form" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<label class="label" for="email">Email:</label>
<input class="input" type="text" id="email" name="email">
<label class="label" for="username">Username:</label>
<input class="input" type="text" id="username" name="username">
<label class="label" for="password">Password:</label>
<input class="input" type="password" id="password" name="password">
<label class="label" for="confirm_password">Confirm Password:</label>
<input class="input" type="password" id="confirm_password" name="password2">
<button class="button" type="submit">Register</button>
</form>
The form is not valid because you didn't provide a value for
password1. You need to fix your HTML template as follows
