I identified that a more efficient way of doing this would be to call the
get initial method but for some reason it doesn't seem to trigger the
function that I'm trying to overriede.
*class NoteCreate(CreateView):*
* login_url = 'login'*
* model = Note*
* form_class = NoteForm*
* success_url = reverse_lazy('file_status:list')*
* def get_initial(self):*
* print(self.kwargs['file_id'])*
* print('in get initial')*
* initial = super(NoteCreate, self).get_initial()*
* initial['file'] = 2*
* return initial*
Please help me understand. this is really getting frustrating:(
For this one, the text in get initial does not get printed.
What works though is when I don't use Class based view. But I still would
like to make it work using class based views since my other views are class
based.
