Re: How can I auto-fill a field in the model without showing a form field to the user?

Thanks I'll pick up that book.

Would another acceptable approach be to do this in the view by overriding the form_valid() method? Can you tell me if there is any benefit/disadvantage to doing it one way or another? Thanks again

Django is very comprehensively documented and almost any question you
can think up is only a google search away. Typically a search will
reveal a Django doc reference and StackOverflow answers. I must say
looking up the docs is very valuable because you learn so much else
besides your original quest.

Books are another good source. My preferred one is Two Scoops of Django.

Welcome.
