No, you can pass initial data when you instantiate the form in your view. f = MyFormClass(initial=initial_data) See here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#dynamic-initial-values I have to admit it took some searching before I could find this link, even though I knew it was there; the 'fields' page doesn't seem like a very obvious place for it. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
