I ended up doing the following in a function on my class:
class ApplicationCreateView(CreateView):
model = Application
form_class = ApplicationForm
success_url = 'submitted/'
def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.job = get_object_or_404(Job, slug=kwargs['slug'])
return super(ApplicationCreateView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
def form_valid(self, form):
#Get associated job and save
self.object = form.save(commit=False)
self.object.job = self.job
self.object.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
context_data = super(ApplicationCreateView, self).get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
context_data.update({'job': self.job})
return context_data
