Request.user on Django Model forms - django

Question

I have a ledger account table that consist of ledger accounts of all the companies. The user in logged into a specific company and hen he selects an account to use on a form only the accounts that company must be available for the user. for this purpose I use the request.user to determine the user. I however get an error "request does not exist". I understand why it is not available on the forms.py as there is no request executed. Is there a way that I can make request.user available of the form.
Models.py
class tledger_account(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
description = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
gl_category = models.CharField(max_length=30, choices=category_choices, verbose_name='category', db_index=True)
note = models.CharField(max_length=25, blank=True, default=None)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
company = models.ForeignKey(tcompany, on_delete=models.PROTECT, db_index=True)
forms.py
class SelectAccountForm(forms.ModelForm):
date_from = forms.DateField(widget=forms.SelectDateWidget(years=year_range))
date_to = forms.DateField(widget=forms.SelectDateWidget(years=year_range))
select_account = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=tledger_account.objects.filter(
company = request.user.current_company))
class Meta:
model = ttemp_selection
fields = ['select_account', 'date_from', 'date_to']

When you use request.user you are using the fields of the user model so it is not necessary to have them in the form, for that you need to have a forensic relationship with the user model:
class tledger_account(models.Model):
id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
description = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True)
gl_category = models.CharField(max_length=30, choices=category_choices, verbose_name='category', db_index=True)
note = models.CharField(max_length=25, blank=True, default=None)
active = models.BooleanField(default=True)
company = models.ForeignKey(tcompany, on_delete=models.PROTECT, db_index=True)
and the view:
def tledger_account_view(request):
template_name = 'your template'
user = request.user
tledger_account = tledger_account.objects.get(user=user)
return render(request, template_name, {
'tledger_account': tledger_account,
})
