I'm successfully initialising the values of the field Ip using a custom inline FormSet:
# http://stackoverflow.com/a/24462173/129805
class PrepopulatedIpInlineFormSet(forms.models.BaseInlineFormSet):
model = Ip
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(PrepopulatedIpInlineFormSet, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
apn_ggsns = ApnGgsn.objects.all()
initial = []
for apn_ggsn in apn_ggsns:
print apn_ggsn.cidr
cidr = IPNetwork(apn_ggsn.cidr)
print cidr
for ip in cidr:
# skip .0 and .255 addresses
ipstr = str(ip)
print ipstr[-2:]
if ipstr[-2:] == '.0' or ipstr[-4:] == '.255':
continue
print ipstr
num = Ip.objects.filter(ip=ipstr).count()#, apnid=apn_ggsn.apn_id, ggsn_id=apn_ggsn.ggsn_id).count()
if num == 0:
initial.append({'ip': ipstr, 'apn': apn_ggsn.apn, 'ggsn': apn_ggsn.ggsn})
break
self.initial = initial
The ip field is being correctly populated on the admin form with the next free ip address. Multiple inline forms/objects are being generated correctly.
I cannot get the <select>s to show the correct initial values.
I have tried each combination of adding a _id suffix to the dictionary key and using the actual object and the object's id as the value.
The <select> boxes never show an initial selected value.
The documentation shows examples, but not of ForeignKeyFields.

What am I doing wrong?
