Thanks for the reply.
I'm not using django very long, so i have to get familiar with the
whole stuff...
i thought there there is a nice little paramter like
'autopopulate_from_current_user = True' ;)
... but now i think i understand the whole thing a little better. In
this case, the view is responsible to serv the current user to the
model, so if i want to autopopulate the user in the admin, i have to
overwrite the adminviews, right?
this is one of the sources i read:
