If you override a field and manually specify the choices for a Select widget, this "-------" does not appear as the first choice. {{{ # models.py from django.db import models MY_CHOICES = ( (0, 'Zero'), (1, 'One'), ) class MyModel(models.Model): my_field = models.IntegerField(choices=MY_CHOICES) }}} {{{ # forms.py from django import forms from myapp.models import MyModel, MY_CHOICES class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm): #my_field = forms.IntegerField(widget=forms.Select(choices=MY_CHOICES)) class Meta: model = MyModel }}} View the HTML for the form with my_field commented out: {{{ >>> from myapp.forms import MyModelForm >>> f = MyModelForm() >>> print f <tr><th><label for="id_my_field">My field:</label></th><td><select name="my_field" id="id_my_field"> <option value="" selected="selected">---------</option> <option value="0">Zero</option> <option value="1">One</option> </select></td></tr> }}} Now uncomment my_field in MyModelForm: {{{ >>> from myapp.forms import MyModelForm >>> f = MyModelForm() >>> print f <tr><th><label for="id_my_field">My field:</label></th><td><select name="my_field" id="id_my_field"> <option value="0">Zero</option> <option value="1">One</option> </select></td></tr> }}} This value doesn't appear in the 2nd case: <option value="" selected="selected">---------</option> SVN-8643 nobody lingrlongr ModelForm forms 0 0 0 0 0 0
