Description

When using AddManipulator on a model with a foreign key, when the form is returned with errors, the foreign key choice is not shown on the form although the view is aware of it.

to elaborate, if one has a select field, on errors, when the form is returned, the choice chosen in the select field is shown. But in the drop down list for a foreign key field, the choice is not shown - only the ------ is shown, although the manipulator remembers the item chosen

on investigation of django.forms.init.py, i find that the ForeignKey appears to be treated as a SelectField. The population of the data in the SelectField is restricted to 'choices' if defined. The case of foreign key is not covered. Now to try to write a patch for that!

Same problem occurs with ChangeManipulator too

looks valid, but are we still worried about Manipulators?

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

Development effort on oldforms has halted, so I'm marking this as a wontfix.
