Hey there,

This seems like something that should be simple to do but I'm having a heck of a time with it and google searches don't reference anything that's helping me out.

I have a form that a user fills out, and it creates a db row based on the input. Model as below:

    class Accounts(models.Model):
    authid = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    authtoken = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    provider = models.ForeignKey(Provider)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)


How do I feed the current user value to the form?  Form code:

    class AccountForm(forms.ModelForm):

      provider = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Provider.objects.all(), 
help_text="Provider")

      authid = forms.CharField(max_length=256, help_text="AuthID")

      authtoken = forms.CharField(max_length=256, help_text="AuthToken")

       user = ????

If you are using a class based view like CreateView you can set the current user in the form_valid method like this:

def form_valid(self, form):
    form.instance.user = self.request.user

Furthermore you don't need to define a modelform when using CreateView.
