Comment (by Stewart <[email protected]>):
A class-based approach would definitely work. To me it seems like a more
sensible way of tackling generic views. However #6735 seems to
specifically relate to list views where is this issue focuses around the
create and update generic views. In a class-based approach ideally this
could take an instance of the ModelForm. That way you could perform any
operations on the instance that are needed such as binding data. That
would definitely solve the issue and make generic views much simpler for
displaying forms with pre-populated data.
