hi derek, thanks for your hints - was I really that unclear? hm.
anyway, could you please give an example about how to "override/check the value for that field after the form POST"? I don't seem to be able to do that, and believe me, I have read the docs. I think cleaned_data is only available after is_valid() was called, but is_valid() throws an exception because the required field is missing - and I can't set it. The hidden field thing is the last thing I wanted to try. bad style, you know :) , cause security risk. thanks!
