There are two ways you can do this. If the initial choice for
'writedownoper' will always be '2', you can use pass an 'initial'
argument when declaring the field [1]:
writedownoper = forms.ChoiceField( required=True, choices =
[('1','1'),('2','2'),('3','3')], initial = '2')
However, if that value needs to be dynamic, you can do so when
instantiating the form in your view [2]:
writedownoper = forms.ChoiceField( required=True, choices =
[('1','1'),('2','2'),('3','3')])
views.py:
form = AssumptionsForm(initial = {'writedownopen' : '2'})
