I'm trying to figure out how get_initial will work in this instance. I know
I will have to pass the asset_tag.pk through the url to the
FixedAssetCopyView but not sure what to set for my initial data. Assuming I
just want to set the "manufacturer" = to the manufacturer of the
fixed_asset.pk that gets passed through the url, what would I put in my
view? Also does my url look right? Thanks
This is my View
class FixedAssetCopyView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
fields = ("asset_tag=''", "serial_number=''", "manufacturer",
"model_number", "description", "purchase_date", "purchase_price",
"purchased_from", "purchase_condition", "asset_type", "owner", "location",
"active", "inactive_date", "comments")
model = FixedAsset
template_name = 'administration/fixed_assets/fixed_asset_form.html'
def get_initial(self):
initial = super().get_initial()
initial["manufacturer"] = fixed_asset.pk.manufacturer
return initial
And this is my url
url(r'^fixed_assets/copy/(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
fixed_assets.FixedAssetCopyView.as_view(), name='fixed_asset_copy'),
