✅

You can override .form_valid(…) [Django-doc] to run when the form is valid, and before the form is saved and a redirect is made:

class CreatePostView(CreateView):
    model = Post
    form_class = PostForm
    template_name = 'create_post.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.author = self.request.user
        return super().form_valid(form)

Note: You can limit views to a class-based view to authenticated users with the
LoginRequiredMixin mixin [Django-doc].
