✅

Since you excluded the user, you need to get it back somehow, otherwise your rec_form.save() would have exception because your model needs user field to be filled.

The trick is to use save(commit=False). It will create an object in memory but it won’t save it. You just have to assign user to the in-memory object and save it again:

if rec_form.is_valid():
    new_rec = rec_form.save(commit=False)
    new_rec.user = request.user
    new_rec.save()

Check django doc about commit=False in save() method.
