Hi Josh,
unfortunately it seems that there is no way to do so. As you've
noticed that correctly you can use request (request.user) in any place
but model save.
most likely that will be view:
---
if form.is_valid():
newObj = form.save(commit=False)
newObj.user = request.user
newObj.save()
---
Cheers,
Phil
