Django set default form values

python django django-models django-forms

You can use initial which is explained here

You have two options either populate the value when calling form constructor:

form = JournalForm(initial={'tank': 123})

or set the value in the form definition:

tank = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial=123)

python django django-models django-forms

Other solution: Set initial after creating the form:

form.fields['tank'].initial = 123

python django django-models django-forms

If you are creating modelform from POST values initial can be assigned this way:

form = SomeModelForm(request.POST, initial={"option": "10"})
