Django, ModelChoiceField() and initial value

Question

I\'m using something like this:

field1 = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=...)

How can I make my form show the a value as selected?

Answer 1

The code

form = YourForm(initial = {'field1': instance_of_mymodel.pk })

and

form = YourForm(initial = {'field1': instance_of_mymodel })

or initial field directly following:

field1 = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=..., initial=0) 

All work.

The first two ways will override the final way.
