If I understand correctly, you can override a get_form_kwargs method to pass id into the form constructor (see this)

# views.py

def get_form_kwargs(self):
    kwargs = super(CreateView, self).get_form_kwargs()
    kwargs.update({'id': self.kwargs.get('id')})
    return kwargs

# forms.py

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    id = kwargs.pop('id', None)
    super(Form, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.fields['id'].initial = id
