If you have a look at the ModelForm documentation, you'll see that its constructor takes a keyword argument 'instance', which is an existing object to populate initial data; under the hood, it uses a much more robust method of fetching the data out of the model instance (django.newforms.models.model_to_dict() if you're interested). -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
