Comment (by karolyi):
Oh yes, I forgot that it's a special case, so let me elaborate. I created
a form, where not all of the original choices are available for a field:
{{{
class MyForm(model.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, choices, *args, **kwargs):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['option'].choices = [
x for x in choices.ALL_CHOICES if x[0] in choices]
}}}
Now, when cleaning the form, the option field can get an option which has
a choice, but is not in the 'enabled' choice list. In that case, it'd be
nice to see the corresponding value of choices.ALL_CHOICES.
Does that make sense?
Replying to [comment:7 timgraham]:
> If the value appears in `choices`, isn't it a valid choice? If you could
submit a test or some code to better demonstrate the problem that would be
helpful.
