Hello, I'm confused: why does BoundField.as_widget retrieve initial data with self.name (without prefix):
>>> def as_widget(self, widget=None, attrs=None): ... >>> if not self.form.is_bound: >>> data = self.form.initial.get(self.name, self.field.initial) But if there is data (form is bound), the "html_name" is used (which includes the prefix): >>> def _data(self): >>> """ >>> Returns the data for this BoundField, or None if it wasn't given. >>> """ >>> return self.field.widget.value_from_datadict(self.form.data, >>> self.form.files, self.html_name) I've got a big data grid with lots of copies of a form; I was passing the same initial data to all in a big dictionary with prefixes -- which doesn't work; but I have another purpose for this same dictionary: I don't want to try to save rows that aren't changed, so I was putting the dictionary in the session to check for changes on post (poor man's locking: then I check db w/ select for update to see if anyone else changed the changed rows....). It looks (grumble) that I have to reformat the data for these two purposes... but if there is a reason for it, I'll put up with it, of course :). Best for me would be that BoundField.as_widget used html_name, but can someone tell me why it doesn't?
