Because you've past request.POST directly to the form as the data dict. You can instead pass a copy when instantiating the form, then you will be able to modify the copy. > Plus, afaik, fields can not access form instances so this code would have > to live in the form subclass -- not practical in my use case. > > Where I have done this (reluctantly) has been in the form (or perhaps it was the field) clean method, where self is the form. I am not sure why in your case you believe that to be not practical. If you want to change the value displayed for a field in the form, you'll either need to change the value in the data dictionary or change the guts of how the form displays itself. The former is the easier choice, imo. Karen -- http://tracey.org/kmt/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
