This is driving me mad, so I must ask the community, in hopes of a
workaround:

I've got a simple formset of models on a page, generated by
modelformset_factory.  This particular page will never create forms--
it only modifies existing ones.  Therefore the queryset I pass into
the formset constructor gets built, and everything works great.

I've added a field to the formset, but Django seems perfectly happy to
totally ignore whatever initial data I want to supply for this
'virtual' field that I've added.  It seems that I've got absolutely no
mechanism for setting a dynamically-generated value as a pre-computed
field value.

My situation is that I want to represent an many-to-many relationship
on this 'virtual' field, which doesn't actually exist on my model.
When the form is submitted, I can easily intercept the values sent and
do what I will with them.  However, when the page refreshes after a
submission, I cannot for the life of me inject this data back into the
form.  As of right now, my select-multiple widget is quite blank, no
matter what I do.

Help?  I've literally been at this for hours off and on.
