ModelChoiceField default value

[Rufman]

how can i make one of the options in a select the default. (i
previously changed the select widget so that it only shows a selection
of options).

my code:
ModifyComment.base_fields['fk_bullet'] =
forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Bullet.objects.filter(fk_day=day_id))

i what one of the options in the querset to be the default or initial
value. using initial doesn't work with ModelChoiceFiel. Does anyone
know which other attribute i could use?

initial works for me, however, you must set the initial by the id of the record not the instance, i.e.

forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Bullet.objects.filter(fk_day=day_id), initial = Bullet.objects.get(pk = day_id).id)
