Doh!
If I had taken the time to read a post from two hours earlier I would
have seen the answer. Use "initial" when instantiating the form. The
last line below does the trick.
if request.method == 'POST':
form = FormClass(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
project = form.save(commit=False)
project.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/webtools/project/")
else:
if acct:
# if the account is valid, set it as the default in the
choice field
try:
account = Account.objects.get(id=acct)
except Account.DoesNotExist:
form = FormClass()
else:
# set default choice
form = FormClass(initial={'account': account.id})
