Django set field value after a form is initialized

Question

I am trying to set the field to a certain value after the form is initialized.

For example, I have the following class.

class CustomForm(forms.Form)

Another way to do this, if you have already initialised a form (with or without data), and you need to add further data before displaying it:

form = Form(request.POST.form)
form.data['Email'] = GetEmailString()
