 I'm building the 'edit' page of my form. This page is supposed to show
 form with the data that was saved, so the form is pre populated with saved
 data. It works fine for most if the fields, but I have a problem with
 'MultipleChoiceField' / 'CheckboxSelectMultiple' values that don't get
 restored. So instead of having the corresponding checkboxes checked with
 data from the saved form, they are all unchecked. This also affects
 'SelectMultiple'
 Could this be a bug ?

 # forms.py
 class MemberForm( forms.ModelForm ):

     # ......

     MODEL_CATEGORIES = (
         ('advisor', 'advisor'),
         ('member', 'member'),
         ('admin', 'admin'),
     )


     model_categories = forms.MultipleChoiceField(
             widget = forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple,
             choices = MODEL_CATEGORIES
     )

     class Meta:
         model = Member
         fields = [ 'model_categories' ]


 # model
 class Member( models.Model ):

     model_categories = models.CharField(
             max_length = 255,
             null = True,
             blank = True )



 # Controller
 def profile_edit_form( request ):
     user = request.user or None

     # Get user member profile instance
     instance = get_object_or_404( Member, author = user )

     form = MemberForm( request.POST or None, instance = instance )

     context = {
         "form"    : form,
         "instance": instance
     }

     if form.is_valid():
         # ...
         return redirect( 'profile_display' )
     else:
         # Initial form display, and redisplay of invalid form
         return render( request, 'profile_edit_form_view.html', context )

 # Template
 <form action="/accounts/profile-edit-form/" method="post">
     {% csrf_token %}

     {{ form }}


     <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
 </form>
