Title Body

I have this form: class UserUsesSourceForm(forms.Form): # some fields here username = forms.CharField(label=("Username"), max_length=30, help_text = ("Required")) provider = forms.ChoiceField(widget=forms.Select(), choices=SOURCES_CHOICES, initial=SOURCES_CHOICES[1]) The available choices are: E = 'e' A = 'a' SOURCES_CHOICES = ( (A, 'A'), (E, 'E'), ) The view: form = UserUsesSourceForm( initial={'username': request.user.username, 'provider': SOURCES_CHOICES[1] } ) return render_to_response( 'update_datasource.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request, params) ) And the template: <form action="" method="post"> {% csrf_token %} {% if form.non_field_errors %} <p> {% for error in form.non_field_errors %} <div class="text-error">{{ error|escape }}</div> {% endfor %} </p> {% endif %} <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label" for="id_provider">Data source</label> <div class="controls"> {{form.provider}} </div> </div> </form> The problem is that even if the initial value is correctly set, and I can test it in debug (i.e., the form "provider" field initial value is the tuple I want), the final html always show the first element in the select box: <select name="provider" id="id_provider"> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="E">E</option> </select> ..while I'd expect it to have a "default" or "active" option.
