[Python] How to fix “ '" is not a valid UUID.”

I want to let user re-order/sort table of content with drag and drop. And whene I push "Submit order" button (after re-order) I have error:

I only start work with django and I not understand what I am doing wrong.

Here is my models.py

class Task(models.Model):

project = models.ForeignKey(Project, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=300, null=True)
complete = models.BooleanField(default=False)
deadline = models.DateField('Deadline of the task (year, month, day)', default=date.today)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True,null=True)
lookup_id = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, db_index=True)
order = models.IntegerField(blank=False, default=100_000)

def __str__(self):
return self.title

def deadline_func(self):
days = self.deadline - date.today()
return days


Here is my urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
path('' , views.projects_list, name="list"),
path('create_project/' , views.createProject, name="create_project"),

path('deadline_project/<strk>' , views.deadlineProject, name="deadline_project"),

path('update_project/<strk>' , views.updateProject, name="update_project"),
path('delete_project/<strk>' , views.deleteProject, name="delete_project"),
path('create_task/<strk>' , views.createTask, name="create_task"),

path('save-group-ordering/', views.save_new_ordering, name='save-group-oldering'),

path('deadline_task/<strk>' , views.deadlineTask, name="deadline_task"),

path('update_task/<strk>' , views.updateTask, name="update_task"),
path('delete_task/<strk>' , views.deleteTask, name="delete_task"),
]


Here is my views.py

@require_POST
def save_new_ordering(request):
form = OrderingForm(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():
ordered_ids = form.cleaned_data["ordering"].split(',')

with transaction.atomic():
current_order = 1
for lookup_id in ordered_ids:
group = Task.objects.get(lookup_id__exact=lookup_id)
group.order = current_order
group.save()
current_order += 1

return redirect('/')


Here is my forms.py

class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
model = Task
fields = '__all__'

class OrderingForm(forms.Form):
ordering = forms.CharField()


Here is my html

<table class="raz">

<tbody id="groups">
{% for task in project.task_set.all %}



<tr data-lookup="{{ folder.lookup_id }}">
<td style="width: 50px;"><span class="handle"><img src=" static/images/Up_Down.png " alt="Up_Down_icon"></span></td>

{% if task.complete == True %}

{% else %}
<td style="width: 50px;"><input class="checkbox" type="checkbox" name="complete" id="id_complete" ></td>
{% endif %}

<td style="width: 550px;"><p>{{task.title}}</p></td>

<td style="width: 50px;"><a class="calendar" href="{% url 'deadline_task' task.id %}">
