Hi Daniel, This has got me closer but i'm now just getting an empty select box appearing on in the form, with no data in.
class NewBugForm(forms.Form): assigned_to = forms.CharField(max_length=50,widget=forms.Select (choices=[]), initial='Anyone',required=False) def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): all_users = kwargs.pop("all_users") super(NewBugForm, self).__init__(*args,**kwargs) print all_users self.fields['assigned_to'].choices = all_users If I print out all_users I can see it is there after the super(), but for some reason its not appending to the form. The following is a print out of all_users: (('Anyone', 'Anyone'), ('Pete Randall', 'Pete Randall'), ('Chris Smith', 'Chris Smith')) Could it have something to do with that list not being in the right format? Cheers, Pete.
