33074	Do not require fields on UpdateView/CreateView if form specified	Dan Swain	nobody	"When a form class is specified on CreateView or UpdateView, then even though the fields are specified on the form, the following error occurs:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Using ModelFormMixin (base class of MyModelCreateView) without the 'fields' attribute is prohibited.

It seems like fields should not have to be specified on a CreateView or UpdateView when a form is specified since fields HAVE to be specified on a form.  Why can't the view just use the fields specified on the form?  Raising this error when no fields have been specified on the view but a form HAS been specified seems to go against DRY.
