Failed to pull initial data while Creating ModelForm instance with a prefix

[Charlie.Tang@…]

ModelForm 's initial with a prefix failed to pull initial data

Example

class Project(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=64,)

class Document(models.Model):
    project = models.ForeignKey(Project, )

class DocumentForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Document

The following with prefix='document' failed to have the initial selected in the dropdown list:

    form = DocumentForm(data={'project': a_Project_instance}, prefix='document')

But the following worked fine:

    form = DocumentForm(data={'project': a_Project_instance}, prefix='document')

fix:

Problem: the keys of self.form.data is model's field_name, self.html_name has a prefix if the form's prefix is not None

Don't need fix.

the data dictionary's key need to have a prefix

such as:

form = DocumentForm(data={'document-project': a_Project_instance}, prefix='document')
