Hi!
I'm starting to use newforms for most of my forms, but I run into a
problem, which I'm hope has a DRY solution, but I haven't found it yet.
Here's my model chunk:
class Post(models.Model):
status = models.CharField(
maxlength = 15,
choices = PUBLICATION_STATUS,
default = 'published')
I use form_for_model and form_for_instance, to create form objects. I
don't know if there is a way for the newforms to pick my default value
and auto-select it in a form used to create a new Post.
I could probably hand-code it in the form template, but that will cause
me to change the template if my default value changes in the model
(perhaps this example will not change often, but some might).
I understand that newforms and its documentation is not finalized yet,
but adding a capability to pick up default values from the model would be
very beneficial. Maybe there are reasons why it's not done automatically,
which I'm not aware of.
How do you do this in your applications?
