I am trying to reverse to the Detail View after the Update View and to List View after Delete View. How can I implement this. I am getting an error reverse not defined.
Thanks

path('create/', views.ProfileCreateView.as_view(), name='create'),
path('edit/<int:pk>/', views.ProfileUpdateView.as_view(), name='update'),
The error I am getting is - Reverse Not Defined when using the update view. I tried looking up and the solution which I have: Create View reverse to DetailView requires me to migrate the get success url method to the views section. Is it possible to avoid this?
