?next= does not work

[darkpixel]

It appears from looking at the code that I should be able to do something like:

<A HREF="{% url 'comments-flag' comment.pk %}?next=/someurl">Flag comment</A>

But when I'm on the "Really flag this comment?" page, the hidden 'next' form entry isn't populated.

If (instead of linking) I do a form that POSTs to {% url 'comments-flag' comment.pk %} with my own 'next' field, it does work.

I realise this is 7 years later but I've just been looking at something related.

The flag() view accepts a next URL parameter but doesn't do anything with request.GET data. So if the POST form has a next field, that's used. But if the GET request's URL has ?next=/someurl that gets ignored.

The same is true of the other views in views/moderation.py.
