I am working on a hard django project and I am stuck again. In my implementation of ModelForm, I have this form. So I wanna filter the queryset in the assign field so if I do this assign.objects.filter(user_id=1) it is gonna show every user this queryset but I wanna put the request user in this queryset. How can I access the current request user?

class SomeModelForm(forms.ModelForm):

    assign = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
        widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
        queryset=Assign.objects.all(),
    )

    class Meta:
        model = SomeModel
        fields = '__all__'

Pass one additional user object to your form, and then filter based on the user.

forms.py

class SomeModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    assign = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
        widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
        queryset=Assign.objects.none(),
    )

    class Meta:
        model = SomeModel
        fields = '__all__'

   def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
       user = kwargs.pop('user', None)
       super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
       if user:
           self.fields['assign'].queryset = Assign.objects.filter(user=user)

views.py

form = SomeModelForm(user=request.user)

you can do it by just writing

username = request.user.username
print(username)

It will print the current logged in username.
