How to hide a field in django modelform?

You can use HiddenInput
as ref1
widget:
class TestModelForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = TestModel
widgets = {
'ref1': forms.HiddenInput(),
}
Another option is saving form with commit
argument equal False
. This way you can include only visible fields in form and then update model instance with needed data:
def some_view(request):
# ...
if request.method == 'POST':
form = TestModelForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
ref = get_ref_according_to_url()
instance.ref1 = ref
instance.save()
# ...

For example:
class TestModel(models.Model): ref1 = models.ForeignKey(RefModel) text1 = models.TextField() class TestModelForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = TestModel fields = ('text1')
I only allow the user to input text1 field, but when I redefine the post method of my view, I also want to set the ref1 value, how should I do that?
I wish I can let TestModelForm has the ref1 field but don't let user modify it, then I can modify the value of request.POSt in post method, and pass it to TestModelForm, is that possible?
