Howdy Folks,

Here is a fragment of a form definition:

class AddEditContactHistoryForm(forms.Form):
   customer_id = forms.Field(widget=forms.HiddenInput,required=False)
   contact_history_type_id = forms.ChoiceField(label='Contact Type',
       choices=[(c.id,c.description) for c in
ContactHistoryType.objects.all()])
   employee_id = forms.ChoiceField(label='Employee', required=False)
   summary = forms.CharField(required=False)
   date_opened = forms.DateField(initial=date.today())

Say I wanted to update the employee_id field at runtime.  This little
fragment from the view seems to work, but I'm wondering if there is a
better (proper?) way:

edit_form = AddEditContactHistoryForm()
edit_form.fields['employee_id'].widget.choices = [('','Select')] +
   [(c.id,"%s, %s (%s)" %
(c.person.last_name,c.person.first_name,c.title))
   for c in employees]
edit_form.fields['employee_id'].choices =
edit_form.fields['employee_id'].widget.choices

The last line of that is required or else the form doesn't validate.

Thanks!
