The current documentation for ModelForm doesn't make clear that when you
specify a custom field, default values for
{{{required}}}, {{{initial}}}, etc. will not be drawn from the underlying
model, as they are when you let the ModelForm create default fields. A
patch is attached that explains this.
As of this writing, the most straightforward example would involve a
custom widget, but since a new paradigm for doing that is apparently about
to be introduced ([http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9223]), I used an
example with a custom field.
A related discussion is here: [http://groups.google.com/group/django-
developers/browse_thread/thread/904f0ec46525f922].
