how to get initial data on the extra forms

i've got multiple forms, which i want to pull the same initial data into specific fields but only the first formset is doing the job but the rest come blank also note that CustomerForm is a modelform

CustomerFormset = formset_factory(CustomerForm, extra=2)
form = CustomerFormset(initial=[{'Location':'USA', 'age': 10} ])

    context = {  'form':form }
    return render(request,"Customermanager/SubProcess.html",context)

so when the form loads... all the rest of the extra COME BLANK!

i want both my intial plus extra to have the same data if i can get some code how to do it. ill beable to fill in the rest

Solution

In order to set different initial values for each form in a formset including the extra forms, you have to pass a list of dictionaries containing the initial data for each form to be rendered.

Something like the following would do :

Formset = formset_factory(CustomerForm, extra=2)
formset = FormSet(initial=[{'Location':'USA', 'age': 10} for x in range(3)])
