I needed to create a dynamically initialized MultipleChoiceField.
Unfortunately, the Django docs when talking about initialize didn't go
into how to deal with MultipleChoiceField. A bit of scratching around
didn't show a real solution although Getting dynamic model choices in
newforms (http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/26/) is useful. I
did find a ticket (#5033: Dynamic initial values for
MultipleChoiceFields in newforms) that was apparently closed for
rather poor reasons. Finally, I stumbled on this solution and am
posting it here in the hope that others can find it.
In the form:
class RecoveryForm( forms.Form ):
items = forms.MultipleChoiceField( choices = (), required =
False )
When it comes time to use it:
choices = [('1', '1'), ('2', '2')]
form = RecoveryForm( )
form.fields[ 'items' ].choices = choices
Problem solved.
That said, I'm new to Django and VERY new to newforms so there may
well be a better way.
