How to set a default value on a form when it's excluded?
I've tried 3 different approaches, and nothing seems to work. Here's my view:

    def my_view(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            form = DealershipForm(request.POST)
            if form.is_valid():
                dealership = form.save(commit=False)
                dealership.entered_by = User(id=2)
                dealership.save()
                messages.success(request, 'Dealership added.')
        else:
            form = DealershipForm()
        return response(request, template='misc/my_template.html',
                        vars={'form':form})

I've also tried modifying the `cleaned_data` just after `form.is_valid`, I've tried setting `initial`, and `instance`, nothing seems to work!
