I am so dense sometimes...
I had forgotten that initial data in a formset is a *list* of
dictionaries.
So I set up the initial data in a loop over the available products,
and created a parallel list of product_descriptions in the same loop.
Then set up the formset, and looped over formset.forms
Bill,
thanks a ton for the conversation.
I will try some variations of that set of ideas over the weekend and
report back here with what works.
And you are correct, I am not now creating the formset forms in a
loop, but might try that as one variation.

Well, if you can iterate the forms of a formset in the template, you can
do it in python. I guess the trick is whether there is a public interface
for accessing the model instance of the current form during such an
iteration, (I'm assuming here that the fields you do want to use a fields

Let's start by agreeing on common terminology. "property" has
a meaning in Python slightly different than its usage in some
other languages, and I don't think that's what you mean.
I'm thinking that what you mean by "property" on the form is what
Python calls an attribute of the instance of the
Bill,
Thanks a lot for sticking with this question.

I guess that what I'm saying is that when you get fussy about rendering, you
need to write the html/css yourself. Because you say you want read only for
these fields, don't use the form field's rendering at all (or use a
hidden field).
Compose a div or span or whatever suits your fancy, and pass w

This seems to me to be a job for the template. The forms documentation has
a section on custom rendering which shows you how to iterate through the
fields, or access them by name. You would insert whatever HTML construct
was appropriate for your text, providing a context variable giving its conte
I often want to add properties to a formset that will fill a table
cell with flexibly wrapping, read-only descriptive text. For example,
the description of a product, where the enterable field is the
quantity ordered.
If I use a field, the widget gets a fixed width and the contents do
not wrap (u
