I have a (simplified) model class Incident(models.Model): title = models.CharField(max_length=128) when_reported = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) reporter = models.ForeignKey(User)
Where User is from auth. When used with a ModelForm, this creates a popup button with a list of users. I want it to default to the currently logged in user so in my view I have: def new_incident(request): form = IncidentForm(initial={ 'reporter': request.user, 'title': 'New Incident', 'when_reported' : datetime.now(), }) media = form.media return render_to_response('incidents/new.html',{'form': form, 'media': media},context_instance=RequestContext(request)) However the popup button's selection is never set to the current logged in user. I have rendered the current logged in user's name elsewhere on the page, it is set. But the popup selector isn't getting its selection set right.
