You're right, generic views are quite limited. And they work only with "oldforms", which are due to be replaced with "newforms", so it isn't really worth improving. I personally am still with oldforms, and I like a programming style where I don't write all the form handling code into my custom views. Instead, I've patched the original generic views to accept a custom manipulator. With this, I handle everything special (and also your case) within the manipulator. Additional data like your foreign key would be passed to the __init__() function of the manipulator.
