I double checked, this view is unique.
here's the whole process by the way.
from a detail page, there is a link that redirects to a create note page.
also, the id of the parent object.
<a href="{% url 'file_status:note_create_param' object.pk %}" class="badge
badge-secondary">Create note</a>
then on my url.py, I have two paths pointing to the same view class. one
has no parameter, the other has a parameter which I will be using.
path('note_create/', views.NoteCreate.as_view(), name='note_create'),
path('note_create_param/<int:file_id>/', views.NoteCreate.as_view(), name=
'note_create_param'), # this is what I'm using
here's my view
class NoteCreate(CreateView):
login_url = 'login'
model = Note
form_class = NoteForm
success_url = reverse_lazy('file_status:list')
def get_initial(self):
print('at get intitial method')
return None
maybe I'll start another crud cookie cutter project to see if the get
initial method will work on that.
