Just use "initial" keyword on creation form class myForm(forms.Form): test = forms.CharField(label = _('test'), max_length=255, required = True) .... myForm(initial = {'test': 'test string'}).
If you use form that generated from model: class myForm(forms.Form): class Meta: model = myModel ... myForm(initial = myModel(var1 = 'qq' )).
