I have a ModelForm that has a field of User. I'd like this to be automatically set to whichever user is logged in. I can think of only one solution, passing request.user into the constructor of the form and have save() set it, but it *does not work* for generic views, since they need a form class that they want to instantiate themselves.
I also tried writing a subclass of my form within the view, and passing in request.user as an object, but that was way too ugly. So I thought the only way is to have the form retrieve the user object itself, globally. Can this be done? If not, what other recourse do I have in accomplishing this? PS. How do I set a value inside a form's save() function anyway? When there's an instance, it's just self.instance.field = value, but when it's submitted unbound, there is no instance...
