Comment:
Pass in your own form class which implements `__init__` to provide the
'initial' keyword argument:
{{{
#!python
from django.forms import ModelForm
from myapp.models import MyModel
class MyModelForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = MyModel
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
kwargs['initial'] = {'field1':'val1'}
return super(MyModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
}}}
Then pass `MyModelForm` as the `form_class` argument.
I didn't try this, but I'm fairly sure the basic approach should work.
Since it is fairly simple and avoids cluttering the generic view
interface, I'm closing WONTFIX.
