Not a Valid Choice for Dynamic Select Field WTFORMS

My guess is that Area.id is a int - when data comes back from the client it is treated as a string by WTForms unless a callable is passed to the coerce keyword argument of the wtforms.fields.SelectField constructor:

area = SelectField(coerce=int)

Alternately, if you are using SQLAlchemy you could use wtforms.ext.sqlalchemy.fields.QuerySelectField (wtforms_sqlalchemy if you are using WTForms 3+):

area = QuerySelectField(query_factory=Area.objects.all,                            get_pk=lambda a: a.id,                            get_label=lambda a: a.name)

Here is how you can solve it without QuerySelectField.

Here is how I did:

years = [(str(y), y) for y in reversed(range(1950, 2013))]years.insert(0, ('','year'))year = wt.SelectField(choices=years)

Remember to put also the available choices when setting up the Form class.

class MyForm(FlaskForm):    sel = SelectField(coerce=int, label="MyLabel", choices=my_choices)    ....

where choices can be something like this:

my_choices = [x.id for x in get_products()]

The exception is arised in function pre_validate in script /wtforms/fields/core.py when the validate_on_submit() functions is called
