Trying to Display init value in form - django

Question

I am trying to display the init value (State) in my form, but it keep showing the "-------" value.
I know the value is not empty because it saves the states into my database. It just wont show up in my form
My form class:
class AddressUpdateForm(BaseModelForm):
state = ProvinceModelChoiceField(required=False, queryset=CountryProvincePair.objects.all())
class Meta:
model = Address
fields = ('label', 'postal', 'zip', 'city', 'country', 'state', 'custombillto')
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(AddressUpdateForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
print("THIS IS IT", self.instance.state)
self.fields['state'].instance = self.instance.state
My custom ModelChoiceField:
class ProvinceModelChoiceField(ModelChoiceField):
"""
A model choice field that accepts custom values for province class.
Should be used together with Chosen with extended functionality.
This model will accept everything that is not in its Query initial values
"""
def label_from_instance(self, obj):
return "%s, %s" % (obj.province, obj.country)
def to_python(self, value):
if value in self.empty_values:
return None
try:
key = self.to_field_name or 'pk'
value = self.queryset.get(**{key: value})
except (ValueError, TypeError, self.queryset.model.DoesNotExist):
# If the object does not exist, does not raise an error
pass
return value
BaseModelForm:
class BaseModelForm(ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(BaseModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
for label, field_instance in self.fields.items():
if isinstance(field_instance, ModelChoiceField) or isinstance(field_instance, ChoiceField):
field_instance.widget.attrs['class'] = 'chosen'
field_instance.help_text = ''
if isinstance(field_instance, BaseTemporalField):
field_instance.widget.attrs['class'] = 'dp'
if isinstance(field_instance, NullBooleanField):
field_instance.widget.attrs['class'] = 'switch'
if isinstance(field_instance, BooleanField):
field_instance.widget.attrs['class'] = 'switch'
