And, since you really don't want constants littering your code, you probably want something like this: context['default_year'] = timezone.now().year
-----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Carsten Fuchs Sent: Thursday, April 4, 2019 9:12 AM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Using forms to handle request.GET data? To elaborate on this further: Searching the web for this yields numerous hits, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16026479/django-forms-default-values-for-bound-forms mentions some ways to address this, but I've not come across a fully satisfactory solution. Another approach might be this: params = {'year': '2019'} # default values params.update(request.GET) year_form = JahrAuswahl(params) # Can now use year_form normally, as intended: if not year_form.is_valid(): # Pass year_form to the view to re-render the form with errors. return render(..., {'year_form': year_form}) # year_form is valid, now use the year_form.cleaned_data values. # If (unrelated) request.POST data turns out to be invalid, # we may re-render year_form in this code path as well. # ...
