It could causes developer fails like caused by ticket #5145. This is an example what I refer: {{{ >>> class NewsForm(forms.Form): ... date = forms.DateField() ... title = forms.CharField() >>> f = NewsForm(initial={'date': 'not_a_date'}) >>> f.as_table() <tr><th><label for="id_date">Date:</label></th><td><input type="text" name="date" value="not_a_date" id="id_date" /></td></tr> <tr><th><label for="id_title">Title:</label></th><td><input type="text" name="title" id="id_title" /></td></tr> }}} | msaelices | msaelices | newforms, sprintsept14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
