Karen, Thank you.
Based on your answer, I continued looking for problems in my code and in my setup. Firstly, the strings in the values of the choices were of length 7 and the CharField was of length 6. I was helped by a coworker to fix that. Then the problem of not showing the save'd choice persisted, and my coworker realized that the field was created in the database with another user as the one with which the program was talking to the database. Fixed that, and the problem went away. best, Haroldo On 16 oct, 10:05, "Karen Tracey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 1:43 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > hi, > > > When I instance a ModelForm with a record of its base model, there is > > a CharField with "choices" that doesn't show the stored value in the > > combobox.
