11740	ModelForm documentation not clear on default attributes of custom Fields	severian	nobody	"The current documentation for ModelForm doesn't make clear that when you specify a custom field, default values for 
{{{required}}}, {{{initial}}}, etc. will not be drawn from the underlying model, as they are when you let the ModelForm create default fields. A patch is attached that explains this.

As of this writing, the most straightforward example would involve a custom widget, but since a new paradigm for doing that is apparently about to be introduced ([http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9223]), I used an example with a custom field.

A related discussion is here: [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/904f0ec46525f922].
