For the future, you keep hinting that you have something that almost
does what you want or works in one case but not the other, but you
aren't showing any code. So it's a bit hard to correct what you're
attempting and sometimes it's easier for somebody to see how to modify
what you've already tried.
In any case, here's an example of constructing a form that will select
the initial date:
class Example(Form):
date = DateField(label='date', initial='2007-04-29',
widget=extras.SelectDateWidget(years=range(2007, 2000, -1)))
If you create an instance of this form and render it, the initial value
is selected, as expected. The "initial" attribute is documented at the
top of newforms.field.Field.
You can also set it at a later point in time by just poking into the
"initial" attribute on the Field sub-classes. The attribute isn't used
or modified until render time.
