Django Forms ChoiceField
I have two questions concerning the Django ChoiceField:
This is my form:
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
GENDER = (
(1, _("Mr.")),
(2, _("Ms.")),
)
prefix = forms.ChoiceField(choices=GENDER)
...
This works fine, however I was wondering why the choicefield doesn't take a default..
On the page it renders Mr as the selected value, however if the form is submitted (note: required=True is default for this field) it doesn't throw an error and the value in my form post data is "Ms" instead.
Other question:
{{ prefix.get_prefix_display }}
doesn't seem to work.. Is there a difference b开发者_开发问答etween models and forms with this function's usage?
I think you are mixing up FormFields and ModelFields. Your FormField can set a default choice to appear by using the 'initial' argument:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#initial
but it is represented in your model by a ModelField, for which a default value can be set using 'default' argument:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#default
