I don't know why you're not using the "instance" argument to populate the form
profileForm = ProfileForm(instance=userProfile)
but you need to give the ModelForm a list of PKs for the many-to-many-field:
bar_memberships = [obj.pk for obj in ob.barmembership.all()]
profileForm = ProfileForm( initial = {'barmembership' : bar_memberships})
(see the model_to_dict code in django/forms/models.py )
And force the refresh on the browser if it looks like it's not working
:) (at least FF has a strange
habit of keeping selections when reloading a form, ignoring the
initial selected items on the HTML).
