Presumably you have a view which is updating this object. The view has access to the HttpRequest. Therefore, the easy, simple, clean and elegant way is... to have the view set the value of that field. So do that and ignore anyone who tells you otherwise -- magically/secretly/implicitly trying to make things happen or provide access to variables is the path of people who prefer to make their own jobs harder. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
