Use the get_inital method.

I'd like to create a CBV to allow users to copy a record, except for item specific information. - I'm making a fixed assets app and if there are 2 of the same laptop I'd like the user to be able to make one record in the database, then copy it minus the serial number and asset tag number which would be the only info the user would have to fill in to copy that laptop.

Is there a way to do this by modifying the CreateView somehow? Thanks
