Re: Class Based CreateView with foreign key question

I should also clarify just in case anyone else runs into the same problem in the future:

My form_valid() was not working correctly because I had my form definition excluding a (required) field so it would NEVER be able to save my model under any circumstance.

    def form_valid(self, form):

        theFile = form.save(commit=False)

        theFile.evidence = self.case

        theFile.save()

        response = ...

        return response

This is the same pattern I've done many times in the past, I just wasn't able to wrap my head around it with generic CBV. It's probably not ideal that I don't call super() in there but I don't think there's an effective way to handle it that way.
