Overriding initial value in ModelForm
- by schneck
Hi,
in my Django (1.2) project, I want to prepopulate a field in a modelform, but my new value is ignored.
This is the snippet:
class ArtefactForm(ModelForm):
material = CharField(widget=AutoCompleteWidget('material', force_selection=False))
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(ArtefactForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['material'].initial = 'Test'
I also tried with self.base_fields, but no effect: there is always the database-value displaying in the form. Any ideas?
