Answer 1

Model Form defaults are taken from the model itself. For example:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    title  = models.CharField(max_length=45, default="hello")

You don't need to make any changes to your ModelForm:

class RequestForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = SomeModel
