如何将当前活动用户作为外键添加到 django 3 中的任务 model 中？

Question

I am creating a task to do web app using django 3, I have two models one is UserCustom and other is UserTask in which each corresponding active user can add task. I am getting the entry details through a "model form". For adding the task user need to be login. But mentioning UserCustom as foriegn key in UserTask model, creates a combo (dropdown) box on the "AddTask.html" page with all the registered users.

How can i autimatically add current active user as foreign key in UserTask model?

Below are the codes

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.conf import settings
# Create your models here.

class UserCustom(models.Model):
    user=models.OneToOneField(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)

    profile_pic=models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_pics',blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.user.username   #user os object defined above

class UserTask(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(UserCustom,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    label=models.CharField(max_length=264)
    date=models.DateField()
    status=models.BooleanField(default=False)

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

forms.py

from django import forms
from django.forms.fields import DateField
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from taskApp.models import UserCustom,UserTask
from django.contrib.admin.widgets import AdminDateWidget

class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
    password=forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput())

    class Meta():
        model=User
        fields=('username','email','password')

class UserCustomForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta():
        model=UserCustom
        fields=('profile_pic',)

class UserTaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
    date=DateField(widget=forms.DateInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'YYYY-MM-DD', 'required': 'required'}))
    class Meta():
        model=UserTask
        fields=('author','label','status','date')

            print("Username: {} and password {}".format(username,password))
            return HttpResponse("invalid login details supllied!")

    else:

Answer 1

You can access the current user with request.user .

...
 if request.method == "POST":
    task_form=UserTaskForm(data=request.POST)
    if task_form.is_valid():

        task=task_form.save(commit=False)
        task.author= request.user
        task.save()

        added=True
...
