CBV Django Form View set data for ChoiceField -

i'm using django form view , want enter custom choices per user choicefield.

how can this?

can use maybe get_initial function? can overwrite field?

when want change things form such label text, adding required fields or filtering list of choices etc. follow pattern use modelform , add few utility methods contain overriding code (this helps keep __init__ tidy). these methods called __init__ override defaults.

class profileform(forms.modelform):     class meta:         model = profile         fields = ('country', 'contact_phone', )      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):         super(profileform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)          self.set_querysets()         self.set_labels()         self.set_required_values()         self.set_initial_values()      def set_querysets(self):         """filter choicefields here."""         # show active countries in ‘country’ choices list         self.fields["country"].queryset = country.objects.filter(active=true)      def set_labels(self):         """override field labels here."""         pass      def set_required_values(self):         """make specific fields mandatory here."""         pass      def set_initial_values(self):         """set initial field values here."""         pass 

if choicefield thing you're going customising, need:

class profileform(forms.modelform):     class meta:         model = profile         fields = ('country', 'contact_phone', )      def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):         super(profileform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)          # show active countries in ‘country’ choices list         self.fields["country"].queryset = country.objects.filter(active=true) 

you can make formview use form this:

class profileformview(formview):     template_name = "profile.html"     form_class = profileform
