This does not make sense to me. A model is not a dynamic entity. It is something that's created beforehand. Getting the current username into model should be done in your logic (views), or the template

Hi Omar Ahmed,
  You cannot give the user model value to the field that you can do in views.py and forms.py. visit more about how to create forms in django.
