New description:
Now, we can specify 'widgets', 'labels', and so on in ModelForm's Meta
innerclass and modelform_factory. But We can't specify 'initials' in Meta
and modelform_factory. We must provide initial values in explicitly
defined fields or in ModelForm instantiation.
{{{
class Person(models.Model):
first = models.CharField(max_length=10)
last = models.CharField(max_length=10)
class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm):
last = forms.CharField(max_length=10, required=True, initial="Smith")
class Meta:
model = Person
fields = '__all__'
}}}
If we can specify initial values in Meta, it is easier to specify initial
values:
{{{
class PersonForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Person
fields = '__all__'
initials = {'last': 'Smith'}
}}}
