Include auto generated primary key in Django ModelForm fields

Question

I have a model where I didn't specify a primary key and Django generated one for me. Now I create a ModelForm for the model and I have specified id in the fields section of ModelForm. However, in my ModelForm object, the id field is not present.

Are only the model fields explicitly declared visible in the ModelForm?

Yes, generally you don't want to mess with this field, if the user inputs a value for the id field it's very likely to be duplicated so this is something you want django to take care of for you.
