✅

You will want to handle successful form submissions with the Post/Redirect/Get pattern to prevent the back button from returning to the previous post. In your Django project this is done by returning a redirect from the view instead of an HttpResponse. Redirect docs

from django.shortcuts import redirect

def view_function(request, ...):
    ... # code processing the POST
    if post_request_successful:
        return redirect(path)
    else:
        return HttpResponse(...)  # or render(...) or whatever you usually return

Where path is a url. Most likely you want to either use the same path in the request request.path or get a path by reversing a url name from your urls.py file (from django.shortcuts import reverse). Reverse docs
