request for user isn't working

Using Django Forms & APIs

I’m following This Answer from stack overflow to add model form set in class base views, as you can see everything is working fine, the album_form and formset form is shown in the template, but when add this code:

def get_form(self, form_class=None):
        form = super().get_form(form_class)
        form.fields['name'].queryset = Album.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
        return form

what this code tells is: When the user is trying to create a column model, this code will allow him to select only the Album object that he created, but the code is not working as I’m expecting.

the full code:

class CreateOurColumn(CreateView):
    model = Column
    success_url = reverse_lazy('List-Of-Column')
    form_class = ColumnForm
    template_name = 'create_column.html'

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super(CreateOurColumn, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['formset'] = ColumnFormSet(queryset=Column.objects.none())
        context['album_form'] = AlbumForm()
        return context

    def get_form(self, form_class=None):
        form = super().get_form(form_class)
        form.fields['name'].queryset = Album.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
        return form

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        formset = ColumnFormSet(request.POST)
        album_form = AlbumForm(data=request.POST)
        if formset.is_valid() and album_form.is_valid():
            return self.form_valid(formset, album_form)

    def form_valid(self, formset, album_form):
        album = album_form.cleaned_data['album']
        instances = formset.save(commit=False)
        for instance in instances:
            instance.album = album
            instance.save()
        return HtppResponseRedirect('List-Of-Column')

the models:

class Album(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=25)
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

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

class Column(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True, null=True)
    field_type = models.ForeignKey(Type, on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True)

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

Template:

<form method='post'>
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ album_form|crispy }}
{{ formset.management_form}}
   {% for form in formset %}
        {{form.as_p}}
   {% endfor %}
<button type='submit'>Save<button/>
<form/>

If you read the source code or review the structure for CreateView at the Classy Class-Based Views site, you’ll see that there’s a function in the class you can override for this purpose - get_form_kwargs.

You can override that function and add the current user to the kwargs dict being provided in the form. That means you don’t need to override post and you don’t need to manually create the form.
