Comment:
This looks like a misunderstanding of how `Form.initial` works. From
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#dynamic-initial-
values the documentation]:
[`Form.initial`] values are only displayed for unbound forms, and they’re
not used as fallback values if a particular value isn’t provided.
I only looked at this briefly, so if I've misunderstood the issue please
reopen and point to the incorrect code in Django.
