649	Use form.field.data instead of request.form['field']	Elrond	Hans Lo	"After submitting a form, our code needs to fetch the data from the form and put it to good use (update the db!).

Our current code uses:
{{{
  form = EditForm(request.form)
  if ... and form.validate():
    some_object.one_field = request.form.get('one_field')
    some_object_two_field = request.form['two_field']
}}}

This works mostly, but doesn't benefit from all the validation and cleanup that wtforms gives us. So this should be rewrittn to:
{{{
  form = EditForm(request.form)
  if ... and form.validate():
    some_object.one_field = form.one_field.data
    some_object_two_field = form.two_field.data
}}}

This can be done in small chunks on a file by file basis, or whatever fits someone wanting to work on this. No need to do all at once. Small changes are easier to review anyway."	defect	closed	minor	0.4.0	programming	fixed	bitesized sprint
