Description
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/formsets/#using-initial-data-with-a-formset
In the docs the initial dict is wrapped in a list which causes an error in Django 1.5, should be:
>>> ArticleFormSet = formset_factory(ArticleForm, extra=2) >>> formset = ArticleFormSet(initial={ ... 'title': u'Django is now open source', ... 'pub_date': datetime.date.today(), ... })
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
When passing initial data to a
FormSet
instance it's expected to be alist
ofdict
s in order to specify initial data for individual forms.Form
on the other hand accept initial as adict
.See TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels for more details.
