Excluding Fields in Django Class Based Views Not Working

Question

Boy, it feels like I've tried EVERYTHING here, and I just can't get this form to render properly (e.g. with a subset of fields). Here's the relevant items (extra items removed):

models.py:

class Response(models.Model):
    public = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    question = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True)

class ResponseForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Response
        fields = ['question']

views.py:

class ResponseCreate(CreateView):
    model = Response
    fields = ['question']

response_form.html:

<form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.as_p }}
    <input type="submit" value="Create" />
</form>

I've read every bit of docs, and they suggest using exclude, excludes, field, fields in permutations of tuple, or list, and no matter what the "public" field seems to show up every time! Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

It looks like you need to specify form_class on your view:

class ResponseCreate(CreateView):
    model = Response
    form_class = ResponseForm
