Re: How to get selected value set in newforms
I think the problem is related to passing the resultsdict dictionary to the
DisplayForms.
Once, I did not pass in the dictionary then the initial value works.

Nis,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your example and that does not work. Here is the
snippet of my code:
views.py
def displayresults(request, object_id):
result = Result.objects.get(pk=object_id)
startdatevalue = ''
starttimevalue = ''
startdatestr = '%s' % result.ExecutionStartDate
if startdatestr != 'None':
startdatevalue = "%04d-%02d-%02d" % (
result.ExecutionStartDate.year, result.ExecutionStartDate.month,
result.ExecutionStartDate.day)
starttimevalue = "%02d:%02d:%02d" % (
result.ExecutionStartDate.hour, result.ExecutionStartDate.minute,
result.ExecutionStartDate.second)
result_dict = {'TestName': result.TestName,
'TestVersion': result.TestVersion,
'ExecutionStartDate_date': startdatevalue,
'ExecutionStartDate_time': starttimevalue,
'SubmitDate': result.SubmitDate,
'ExecutionTime': result.ExecutionTime,
'Owner': result.Owner,
'Project': result.ProjectId,
'Phase': result.PhaseId,
'Testtype': result.TestTypeId,
'Station': result.StationId,
'UserIntervention': result.UserInt erventionFlag,
}
form = DisplayResults(result_dict)
resultforms.py:
class DisplayResults(forms.Form):
TestName = forms.CharField()
TestVersion = forms.CharField()
ExecutionStartDate_date = forms.DateField()
ExecutionStartDate_time = forms.TimeField()
SubmitDate = forms.CharField()
ExecutionTime = forms.CharField()
Owner = forms.CharField()
Project = forms.CharField()
Phase = forms.CharField()
Testtype = forms.CharField()
status = forms.ChoiceField(required=False,choices
=(('choice1','Choice1'),('choice2','Choice 2')), initial = 'choice2' )
Here is the html output:
Status:
Choice1
Choice 2

"initial" data are showed in an UNBOUND form. If the form is bound, it
shows the data you bound it to. This is clearly stated in the
documentation - I assume you mistyped here.

For an unbound form, it works for me:
"""
$ cat forms.py
from django import newforms as forms
class SearchForm (forms.Form):
campaign = forms.ChoiceField(required=False,choices
=(('choice1','Choice1'),('choice2','Choice 2')), initial = 'choice2' )
sf = SearchForm()
print sf
$ python forms.py
Campaign:
Choice1
Choice 2
"""
Can you please
a) Confirm that the above works for you
b) Post a self-contained example which shows your problem

Re: How to get selected value set in newforms
I am still having problems setting the select widget to the 3rd value in the
drop down list.
Looking further it seems that the html does not have the selected="selected"
value in any of the items.
The documentation states that if use a bound form you will see that in the html.
How would you go about getting the selected value in the html for a
choicefield. I tried the initial parameter in the choicefield and that does not
change which value is selected. It always happens to be the first in the list.
Any help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

I must be missing something here because when I change the statement
to status = forms.ChoiceField(required=False, choices=statlist,
initial="choice3")
it still displays the 1st record in the list when I am trying to have the 3rd
choice be the selected
value.

No, it isn't. It simply doesn't work with ModelMultipleChoiceField.

Hi,
if choices=(("a", "Letter A",) ...
you set initial to "a". Simple, isn't it?
