🔒 The view students.views.add didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead.

Heres the code:
def add(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = StudentForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_student_number = form.cleaned_data['student_number']
new_first_name = form.cleaned_data['first_name']
new_last_name = form.cleaned_data['last_name']
new_email = form.cleaned_data['email']
new_field_of_study = form.cleaned_data['field_of_study']
new_gpa = form.cleaned_data['gpa']

        new_student = Student(
            student_number = new_student_number,
            first_name = new_first_name,
            last_name = new_last_name,
            email = new_email,
            field_of_study = new_field_of_study,
            gpa = new_gpa
        )
        new_student.save()
        return render(request, 'students/add.html', {
            'form': StudentForm(),
            'success': True
        })
    else:
        form = StudentForm()
        return render(request, 'students/add.html',{
            'form': StudentForm()
        })

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

Which if statement is that else at? The first if or the 2nd if?

You don't return anything if it's not a POST request. You should handle that, or make this view only applicable to POST requests. Also, double check what type of request you're sending.
