Nope, cf Xavier's answer on this.

from the FineManual:
"""class CreateView
A view that displays a form for creating an object, redisplaying
the form with validation errors (if there are any) and saving the
object.
"""
""class UpdateView
A view that displays a form for editing an existing object,
redisplaying the form with validation errors (if there are any) and
saving changes to the object.
"""
Your code:
"""
class ManageReminderMessages(CreateView):
...
"""
As a last note: the pk of the model instance to be edited is usually
passed as part of the url (cf the relevant chapter in the
FineManual)... Unless you want to write a new view for each and any
instance of your model, of course ;)
