Hello,

I am creating an application in django and I have a model with the NewDemand class in which I need when the user creates a demand, the face name is saved in a field. Here's my class:

class NewDemand(models.Model):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True)
    date_max = models.DateField(db_index=True)
    requester_user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    demand_desc = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.name)

I tried to put a models.ForeugnKey(User) but on the admin page a field appears with a menu that contains all the users. I want the user name to go directly to the database without having to appear on the admin page at the time of inputting the data.

python django

You apply this logic to the view:

def new_demand(request):
    user = request.user.id
    demand = NewDemand(name, date_created, date_max, user, demand_desc)

So you get the user ID logged in and pass as a parameter to your demand.
