How to get the Id from CreateView in django?-CodePudding

I need some help getting the id from an object in django.

I have a createView where I want to send an notification for the user when a new object is created, and I need the object Id...

    def form_valid(self, form):
        # setting fields that are not open to user
        form.instance.created_by = self.request.user
        form.instance.status = 'open'
        messages.success(self.request, 'Ticket Created Successfully!')
        Notification.objects.create(
            created_by=self.request.user,
            created_for=form.instance.responsible,
            title=f"New ticket from {self.request.user.first_name} {self.request.user.last_name} =====> {form.instance.id}",
            message=f"Hello",)
        return super().form_valid(form)

The problem is that {form.instance.id} is always none. Anyone can help me with that? Thanks in advance.

You have to call the super() method initially, and, then use the self.object to get the newly created instance.

class MyCreateView(CreateView):

    def form_valid(self, form):
        result = super().form_valid(form)

        print("This is my newly created instance", self.object.pk)

        return result
