I did run across that post, at it does give some valuable information. However, I am still having a little bit of an issue figuring out how to handle the instance creation.
The biggest thing is that I am using generic views and I am passing a large queryset Site.objects.all() and the generic view is taking care of pagination etc to reduce the queryset the a manageable size. Is it possible for the view to call a model method to create the form instance. Maybe I am making this way to complicated....
