Question

I have the following class:

class Module(models.Model):
    contributors = models.ManyToManyField(User)

What I’d like to do is when I save a ModelForm using this class, the user that submitted the form would be saved to the contributors field. How would I go about doing this?

First approach:

def moduleForm( request ):

    formset_f = modelformset_factory(  Module, extra=20 )
    if request.method == 'POST':
        formset = formset_f(request.POST)
        if formset.is_valid():            
            for form in formset:
                module = form.save()
                module.contributors.add( request.user )
                ...
