Re: retrieving initial form data
Thanks! Exactly what I needed. I subsequently found it in newforms/
forms.py. Duh! I think my eyes just glazed over when I saw all that
complicated new-style Python class stuff.

Re: retrieving initial form data
The bound data and initial data dicts are just set on the form
instance as form.data, and form.initial. This isn't 'clean' data
though, so you are bypassing any newforms validation.
a = AForm( initial = {'x': 1} )
a.initial['x']

retrieving initial form data
Given an instance of a form that was created with initial data, how do
I extract a specific field value? For example,
a = AForm( initial = {'x': 1} )
How do I find out what value the field named 'x' is?
a.fields['x']
gives me
a.fields['x'].initial
returns None
I am not interested in submitted values that may be bound to the
form. The field is a hidden input field which I am using to index
pieces of the form that is rendered.
Thanks!
