     622because the field is obligatory and has an explicit default.

     644Create a Car, and display the form for modifying it. Note that now the fuel

    18501850    * If the model field has ``choices`` set, then the form field's ``widget``
    18511851      will be set to ``Select``, with choices coming from the model field's
    1852       ``choices``.
     1852      ``choices``. The choices will include the blank choice which is selected
     1853      by default. If the field is required, that effectively forces a user to
     1854      make a selection. The blank choice will not be included if the model
     1855      field has ``blank=False`` and explicit ``default`` value.
    18531856
    18541857Finally, note that you can override the form field used for a given model
    18551858field. See "Overriding the default field types" below.
     
    21002103this data is not bound to the form. You will need to bind data to the
    21012104form before the form can be saved.
    21022105
     2106Unlike ``form_for_model()``, a choice field in form created by
     2107``form_for_instance()`` will not include the blank choice if the respective model
     2108field has ``blank=False``. The default choice is drawn from the instance, and
     2109there's no need to force a user to make a selection.
     2110
    21032111When you call ``save()`` on a form created by ``form_for_instance()``,
    21042112the database instance will be updated. As in ``form_for_model()``, ``save()``
    21052113will raise ``ValueError`` if the data doesn't validate.
