Checkboxes True or False not loading into form properly - django

Question

I'm using a ModelForm to load a Form and all of the values are pulling properly except the checkboxes. They always load in unchecked whether or not their state is True or False.
I've tried creating the checkbox fields like:
<label>
<input type="checkbox" checked='{{ form.instance.hot }}'>
<span>Hot{{ form.hot }}</span>
</label>
<li>CSR: {{ form.csr }}</li>
{% if request.user|has_group:"Customer Service Manager" %}
<li>Documents: {{ form.documents }}</li>
{% endif %}
<li>Notes: {{ form.notes }}</li>
<li>First Name:{{ form.first_name }}</li>
<li>Last Name: {{ form.last_name }}</li>
<li>Address: {{ form.address }}</li>
Which results in the checkbox always being checked instead matching what's in the table for that client.

Whenever Checkbox will always be checked as soon as you pass checked attribute.
Your template should look like
<input type="checkbox" {{ form.instance.hot|yesno:"checked,'',''" }}>
