There is an open ticket about this argument: #3268.
I wrote a simple work-around:
choices = ( ('1', 'foo'), ('2', 'bar' ) )
myform = form_for_model(Gadget)
myform.fields['field_name'] = ChoiceField(choices=choices)
If you need to use form_for_instance remember to update
the initial value or you will not see the saved value pre-selected
on the select box.
choices = ( ('1', 'foo'), ('2', 'bar' ) )
myform = form_for_instance(Gadget_instance)
initial = myform.fields['field_name'].initial
myform.fields['field_name'] = ChoiceField(choices=choices,
initial=initial)
Hope this helps.
