Django: How to set a hidden field on a generic create view?

Question

I\'m running Django 1.6.x

To extend my user I\'ve added another model storing the data:

class UserProfile (models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignK         


        

Answer 1

class UserProfileCreateView(CreateView):
    def form_valid(self, form):
         self.object = form.save(commit=False)
         self.object.user = self.request.user
         self.object.save()
         return super(ModelFormMixin, self).form_valid(form)
