Oh, right. I missed that error initially. Yes, you're doing it
incorrectly. The first positional argument to a form (which is what you
are passing in) is the data from the form submission. Passing in that
data means the form is treated as a "bound" form, so the data is
validated as part of displaying the form, so that errors can be
displayed. Since you only passed in one of the many required values, you
get all those errors.
What you really want to pass in is initial data. This is done with the
"initial" parameter to the form constructor. So your GET branch would
look like
form = newFenceForm(initial={'auth_id' : auth_id})
I thought "initial" was documented in the forms documentation, but I
cannot find it right now, so maybe that's been missed. In any case,
that's the way to do it.
