Disclaimer: This is my first Django adventure, please be gentle.

I am currently working on a model that has a foreign key pointing to
itself. This foreign key is not mandatory. Think of a post in a forum.
The post will have a number of replies. The post itself will not have
a foreign key however each reply to the post will have a foreign key
of the initial post. So far so good, I have managed to set up the
model correctly.

I am having a little trouble with the form. I am not sure of the best
way to lay it out for Django. I was initially thinking that I could
pre-populate an integer field with the widget type set to hidden. So
for example if I am viewing posts/34 and I click on reply the foreign
key field will be hidden and auto populated to 34. When the form gets
submitted the record gets created with the correct foreign key.

Am my approaching this in the correct way? Is there a correct "Django"
way to do this that I have missed?

Thanks in advance for any help.
