\.html

<form method="POST">
  {% csrf_token %}
{{ basicsettings_form }}
<button type="submit">Dad9adbaiduaadtest</button>

When I click on the submit button, the page just refreshes but nothing happens. What might be the reason for this?

The code above is just a snippet. Maybe nothing happens because I have multiple forms in one view? The whole view looks like this https://pastebin.com/Bu5NLTX1 but I just wanted to give you the relevant part

This might be the problem..

From Creating forms from models:

Every ModelForm also has a save() method. This method creates and saves a database object from the data bound to the form. A subclass of ModelForm can accept an existing model instance as the keyword argument instance; if this is supplied, save() will update that instance. If it’s not supplied, save() will create a new instance of the specified model:

So maybe try:

basicsettings_form = BasicSettingsForm(
            request.POST, instance=basic_settings)
if basicsettings_form.is_valid():
    basicsettings_form.save()

Have you added action in your form action=your_action_url

<form action ="{% url 'your_url_name' %}" method="POST">
  {% csrf_token %}
{{ basicsettings_form }}
<button type="submit">Dad9adbaiduaadtest</button>
