passing a parameter through CreateView to a be an initial value in a form

Hello I am trying to pass a value from a link into CreateView and use that value as an inital value in a form.  I am not having much success and am not sure that I am doing this correctly.  Here is what I have so far:

Link:

<a href="/viewlit/addXC/{{ record.pk }}" target="blank" class="edit-item" title="Add"><img src="{% static "images/plus.png" %}" alt="Add" title="Add" style="width: 4%;"></a>Circuit Ref: {{ record.id1 }}<br>

urls.py

path('addXC/<path:circuitref>/', views.addXC.as_view(), name='addXC'),

views.py

class addXC(CreateView):
    model = Xcinventorytable
    fields = ['circuitref', 'circuitid', 'vendor', 'legacy', 'address', 'city', 'state', 'ciopsticket', 'notes']
    success_url="/thanks/xcadded/"


    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs=super(addXC, self).get_form_kwargs()
        kwargs.update({'circuitref': circuitref})
        return kwargs

forms.py

class XcinventorytableForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Xcinventorytable
        widgets = {'notes': forms.TextInput(attrs={'size':200, 'rows':2})}
        help_texts = {'Circuitref': ('Enter the circuitref listed at the top of the last screen')}
        fields = '__all__'


    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        circuitref = kwargs.pop('circuitref')
        super(XcinventoryForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['circuitref'].initial = circuitref

Any help or suggestions are appreciated
