Autofill my author field with foreign key - django

Question

I am trying to autofill my user foreign key in my note project with authentication in django. I tried, but it's not working and asking that owner is required field. Please, help! Thanks in an advance.
views.py
#login_required(login_url='login')
def index(request):
tasks = Task.objects.filter(owner=request.user)
form = TaskForm()
if request.method=='POST':
form = TaskForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.owner = request.user
instance.save()
context = {
'tasks':tasks,
'form':form,
}
return render(request, 'list.html',context)
models.py
class Task(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
completed = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
owner = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE
)
def __str__(self):
return self.title

Since you fill in the owner yourself, it makes no sense to specify the owner as a form field. You thus should exclude it, and let this be handled by the view. The form thus looks like:
class TaskForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Task
exclude = ['owner']
If no ModelForm will need to specify the owner, you can mark the field as non-editable:
class Task(models.Model):
# …
owner = models.ForeignKey(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
editable=False
)
# …
