class MyForm(forms.Form):
   ...
   my_field = forms.CharField(required=False)

By default, my_field will have None, if it wasn’t completed. How can I make it have a default value? Is there any way I wouldn’t have to use initial? I don’t want it displaying the default value inside the widget.

    When you pull the value from the form, set it to the default if it has no value.

    my_value = myform.cleaned_data['my_field'] or SOME_DEFAULT_VALUE
