Doc <-> Functionallity [FormsAPI Dynamic initial values] difference

[bencoder]

Hi!

These values are only displayed for unbound forms, and they're not used as fallback values if a particular value isn't provided.

That's wrong. ModelForm.init-Code loads the data from the DB-Record into a Dict and updates that dict with the initial-dict.

So the initial values are always used, not just for unbound Forms.

thanks,
bencoder

You've misinterpreted the source. If a form is bound, initial data is ignored completely.
