How to determine the author of an article in Django?

Question

Django

There is an article model in which the Author field is the user who creates it.

author = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='author', on_delete=models.CASCADE)

But at the moment it is displayed in the form on the site in the form of a drop-down list with all existing users.
How do I automatically, when a user creates a new article, detect it and save it as the author?

Answer 1

In general, the article model should have an "author" column

if request.user is authenticated:
     Statya.objects.create(title=title,text=text,author= request.user.id)
