I'm having a strange problem where I can't seem to set the initial value of one of the fields in my forms in django. My model field is: <pre><code>section = models.CharField(max_length=255, choices=(('Application', 'Application'),('Properly Made', 'Properly Made'), ('Changes Application', 'Changes Application'), ('Changes Approval', 'Changes Approval'), ('Changes Withdrawal', 'Changes Withdrawal'), ('Changes Extension', 'Changes Extension'))) </code></pre> My form code is: <pre><code>class FeeChargeForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = FeeCharge # exclude = [] # uncomment this line and specify any field to exclude it from the form def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(FeeChargeForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self.fields['received_date'] = forms.DateField(('%d/%m/%Y',), widget=forms.DateTimeInput(format='%d/%m/%Y', attrs={'class': 'date'})) self.fields['comments'].widget.attrs['class']='html' self.fields['infrastructure_comments'].widget.attrs['class']='html' </code></pre> My view code is: <pre><code>form = FeeChargeForm(request.POST or None) form.fields['section'].initial = section </code></pre> Where section is a url var passed to the function. I've tried: <pre><code>form.fields['section'].initial = [(section,section)] </code></pre> With no luck either :( Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or is there a better way to set the default value (before a form submit) of this choice field from a url var? Thanks in advance! Update: It seems to be something to do with the URL variable.. If I use: <pre><code>form.fields['section'].initial = "Changes Approval" </code></pre> It works np.. If I HttpResponse(section) it's outputs correctly tho.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
