set field after form submission #32

How do I set a model field after form submission? I have a model field that I am excluding from the form view and want to set it after the form is submitted based on a form field that was shown. I tried:

class PersonCreate(PersonCRUDView, CreateView): def form_valid(self, form): form.cleaned_data['ssn_last_four'] = form.cleaned_data['ssn'][-4:] return super(PersonCreate, self).form_valid(form)

but this isn't working. How do I do it?

Hiya,

I'd love to help but don't have the spare time to look into usage questions. The issue tracker is for bug reports and feature requests.

Sorry not to be more help.
