I have a form that can be used to create a Customer from a first name, last name, and birthdate.
However, when I submit the data, the POST data in the request sent only contains the csrf token, not my other variables. I confirmed this was true by checking the django debug toolbar.

aha!
I was missing name in my input elements
I didn't realize that id is not sufficient as a key for the value. The proper way to send the data is to use the attribute name as a key:
<input type="text" required maxlength="200" id="first_name" name="first_name" value=""/>
not <input type="text" required maxlength="200" id="first_name" value=""/>

You should use forms. That will help prevent this in the future

it's amazing how much work django forms do for us. writing everything by hand is a pain
