2254	Add way to override POST content for generic create_update views	djangotrac@…	Jacob	"'''The problem''': the developer wants to use a generic view to allow the user to create/update some, but not all, columns in a row.  Perhaps one column is a user ID which should always match the current user's ID.  Perhaps one column should come from an ID in the URL.

'''The solution''': Add a parameter to the create and update views that allow the developer to override parts of the POST.

The attached patch adds an override_dict parameter which, if provided, replaces the contents of the POST dictionary with the contents of override_dict for any key in the override_dict.  This is done before validation occurs."	enhancement	closed	Generic views	dev	normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
