How to send new form fields with data from Django views.py?-CodePudding

I am adding a new field named "user" to the "order" model. I did make migrations. (Bonus question is: why in the sql3db column "user_id" was made, instead of "user"? But ok, I change form.fields['user'] to form.fields['user_id'], as the machine wants...)

I remove unneeded fields from the form in forms.py, and I try to add this fields in views.py (because I don't know how to send "user" to the forms.py, and I think it more secure like this).

And as I can understand - my new fields is absent for "order", when I use form.save(). This field can't be null by design.

Your form has no user field, hence that will not work. What you can do is alter the object wrapped in the form with:

if form.is_valid():
    form.instance.user = request.user
    form.instance.email = request.user.email
    order = form.save()
