Edit Question
Title
Body
I'm rather new to Django and I'm using Django 1.0. I have this: forms.py: class MyForm(forms.Form): extra_cheeze = forms.BooleanField(required=False, initial=False, label='Extra cheeze') views.py: def order_something(request): form = MyForm(request.POST or None) if request.method == 'POST' and form.is_valid(): # do stuff... The problem is that the form is not valid unless the checkbox is checked, so there doesn't seem to be a way to get a False value from the field. As far as I can understand from the docs , it should work. It works if I add a CharField to my form... Am I misunderstanding something here or is this a bug? (Yes, I have googled but found nothing relevant) Update: As suggested by @Dominic Rodger, I tried adding a hidden field dummy = forms.CharField(initial='dummy', widget=forms.widgets.HiddenInput()) and that makes the form valid. This workaround enables me to move on right now, but it would still be interesting to know if I'm misunderstanding something...
