*models.py*
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    body = models.TextField()
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, blank=True, 
null=True)
    date = models.DateField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
    text_author = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True)

*forms.py*
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Post
        fields = ("title", "body", "user", "text_author")
*views.py*
def create_Post(request):
    form = PostForm(request.POST or None)
    if form.is_valid():
        instance = form.save(commit=False)
        instance.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect (instance.get_absolute_url())
    context = {
        "form": form,
    }
    return render(request, 'blog/create.html', context)

*As shown in attached image, the user has to select themselves from list of 
users before they can submit their post.(which doesn't make sense). I want 
the form to know which user is writing the form(assuming they are logged 
in) so the user doesn't have to identify themselves before they submit 
their post. I'm guessing I need to edit my models.py but I have no idea. 
Please Help.*

*Thank you.*
