Django Generic Create VIew and Hidden fields

[Sabine Maennel]

Can someone please help me with Create View? I have a hidden field and not having it in the form causes Django to not store my object in the database. It fails silently.

So here are my files: 

model.py:

class Application(TimeStampedModel):

    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    application_status = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=APPLICATION_STATUS, default=APPLICATION_NEW)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.name

    def save(self):

        self.application_status ==self.APPLICATION_NEW

    def get_absolute_url(self):

        return reverse('application:detail', kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

forms.py

class ApplicationForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:

        model = Application

        exclude = ('date_created', 'date_updated', 'application_status')

models.py

class ApplicationCreateView(CreateView):

    template_name = 'application/create_application.html'

    form_class = ApplicationForm

    def get_success_url(self):

        try:

            application = Application.objects.get(id=self.object.id)

        except:

            return reverse('application:failed')

        else:

            return reverse('application:received')

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        self.application_status = Application.APPLICATION_NEW

        super(ApplicationCreateView, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    def save(self, commit=True):

        self.instance.application_status = Application.APPLICATION_NEW

        return super(ApplicationCreateView, self).save(commit)

Ich hoffe auf Hilfe, vielen Danke im Voraus

       Sabine

This overwritten save method is probably at fault - it does not ever
actually save the model or call the parent class to do so either.
