Flask-Admin Modelview configurations

I'm trying to tweak the Flask-Admin Modelview to only show certain columns in the Edit and Create tabs. So far I've been able to configure the listing correctly by putting this in my subclass:

class AuthUserView(AuthModelView):
    column_list = ('username', 'email', 'roles', 'last_login_at', 'login_count')

Works great! But now my issues are this. There's also a password field which is attached to a User. When the edit tab is open, I'd prefer that the column was left out of the edit field. Furthermore, when I create a user, I'd like the password field to be there, but to encrypt the input before storing it in the database (Meaning I just need to intercept the data between "submit" and actually storing it".

Is it possible to make these customizations? Thanks for any help!

Edit: So I was able to get the password field removed by adding this code to my view:

form_excluded_columns = ('password')

Except now this removes it from BOTH the edit and the create forms. I only want it removed from one though.

Got it working! Figure I'll put my answer here if anybody else comes across the issue... Here's what my final AuthUserView looked like

class AuthUserView(AuthModelView):
    form_edit_rules = ('roles', 'active', 'username', 'email', 'confirmed_at', 'last_login_at', 'current_login_at', 'last_login_ip', 'current_login_ip', 'login_count')
    column_list = ('username', 'email', 'roles', 'last_login_at', 'login_count')

    def create_model(self, form):
        form.password.data = encrypt_password(form.password.data)
        super(AuthUserView, self).create_model(form)

I used the form_edit_rules to remove the password key from the edit field. Then I override create_model to encrypt the password, and then call the super method to actually create the model.
