16138	ModelForm's 'initial' attribute unexpectedly persists across different instances	Haisheng HU	nobody	"There are two !UpdateView's (or !CreateView's) A and B with their corresponding !ModelForm A and B. From !UpdateView A the 'initial' attribute in !ModelForm A was set to a certain value. After this, !UpdateView B and !ModelForm B were created. Now the 'initial' attribute in !ModelForm B was not {}, but the '''same''' as !ModelForm A.
