hello
you can try with this:

if request.method == 'POST':
form = GoalForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
goal=form.save(commit=False)
goal.user=request.user
goal.save()
#AND , if the model as #Many2Many Relationship
form.save_m2m()

I don't know why, but it seems that it is not possible to modify the
data from POST and pass them to a ModelForm constructor, but you need
first pass them to the constuctor, save it, and than modify the handle.
(and again save the m2m table is present).
i hope it 'll help
