✅

To provide the initial data for the field use the initial parameter:

form = MyForm(instance=my_obj, initial={'custom_field': 'Test'})

Or, if you want to do it in the __init__ constructor:

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    kwargs['initial'] = kwargs.get('initial', {})
    kwargs['initial']['custom_field'] = 'Test'
    super(MyForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
