django how to save current user from views.py-CodePudding

I have a table called items

office_id , sem ,sy ,remarks, recorded_by

And table called customuser

userid, password, email

How can i save the current user's userid here at table items > recorded_by

for now this is my views.py

class Add(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
form_class = CreateForm
model = ClearanceItem
template_name = 'clearance/add.html'

def form_valid(self, form):
    form.instance.recorded_by= self.request.user
    return super().form_valid(form)

CodePudding user response：

Create the object before committing it to the database, update the recorded_by attribute, and then commit it to the database.

def form_valid(self, form):
    instance = form.save(commit=False)
    instance.recorded_by = self.request.user
    instance.save()
    return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
