When you submit your form, you are using create_object/update_object to create/update your UserProfile instance, based upon the form values from the Request. However, there is nothing in the form data that can be used to populate UserProfile.user. While the current user _is_ stored as request.user, the generic views don't know that they have to populate UserProfile.user with the value of request.user. Hence the 'user' is required message. The easiest fix I can think of would be to put a hidden field in your form that holds the id of the current user. This will put a 'user' entry into your form data, which will allow the create/update generic views to submit without error. Another option would be to use the 'follow' argument in the create/update generic views: this argument describes which attributes of an object will be represented as field data; if you list the attributes that _are_ present as fields, but exclude 'user', then the error should go away. However, this assumes that UserProfile.user is/will be assigned at some other time.
