Blank option in required ChoiceField

Question

I want my ChoiceField in ModelForm to have a blank option (------) but it\'s required.

I need to have blank option to prevent user from accidentally skipping the field t

You can also override form's __init__() method and modify the choices field attribute, reasigning a new list of tuples. (This may be useful for dynamic changes):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.fields['my_field'].choices = [('', '---------')] + self.fields['my_field'].choices
