I'm spent hours reading docs and Googling for the solution to this
problem to no avail.
Running Django 1.1 with mod_wsgi
I have a Form with a ChoiceField where the choices are established by
reading them from the database. Then I try to initialize the initial
selected choice so it will be "selected" in the HTML.
But nothing I tried works. As you can see below I set the initial
value for the field in the FormSet call. I also set it in the Form
class just to see if it'll take. No matter what, there is no selected
field in the output html. The options in the <select> are correct,
but never is one of them selected.
class PhoneForm(forms.Form):
telephoneType = forms.ChoiceField(required=True,choices=[])
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(forms.Form, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
choices = TelephoneType.objects.all()
tt = []
i = 0
for c in choices:
i = i + 1
tt.append((i,c.telephone_type))
self.fields['telephoneType'].choices = tt
self.fields['telephoneType'].initial = 2
PhoneFormSet = formset_factory(PhoneForm, extra=1,
can_delete=True)
phones = get_phones(person_id)
phoneData = []
for t in phones:
tt = TelephoneType.objects.get
(telephone_type=t.telephone_type)
do = tt.display_order
phoneData.append({'telephoneType': do})
phone_formset = PhoneFormSet(initial=phoneData)
logging.debug(str(phone_formset))
return phone_formset
