Hello,
The *initial* values for the forms in a form wizard are stored in the
self.initial[] list. It means, that to set set initial values for the
form in step X you do the following:
init = {
'key1':'val1',
'key2':'val2',
etc..
}
self.initial[X] = init
The best (and, indeed, about the only place to handle this) is the
process_step method of the wizard instance (or parse_params, if you
need to set initial values for the form in step 0).
Hope that helps
Mark
