I tried this. The checkboxes displayed but none of them were checked:
LOOKING_FOR = (
('Friendship', 'Friendship'),
('Dating', 'Dating'),
('A Relationship', 'A Relationship'),
('Networking', 'Networking'),
)
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
lookingfor = forms.MultipleChoiceField(required=False, label='Looking
For', widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple, choices=LOOKING_FOR, initial=
{"lookingfor": [1,2,3]})
