How do you set a default value for a WTForms SelectField?

Question

When attempting to set the default value of a SelectField with WTForms, I pass in value to the \'default\' parameter like so.

class TestForm(Form):
  test_fi         


        

Answer 1

There are a few ways to do this. Your first code snippet is indeed correct.

If you want to do this in a View dynamically though, you can also do:

form = TestForm()
form.test_field.default = some_default_id
form.process()
