QuerySelectField ignores changes to data / default in ModelView.create_form about flask-admin HOT 2 OPEN

So I finally got it to work, but its ugly. I had to use the User SQLAlchemy instance and override its eq to check if the id fields were equal. The part where it checks if something should be selected does == between the user object populating the form and the one stored in form.select_field.data. That fails because they are different instances. However changing the comparison operator fixes the problem in this case.

class ApplicationModelView(ModelView):
  def create_form(self, obj=None)
    form = super().create_form(obj=obj)
    form.select_field.data = user_obj
    return form

class User(Base):
  def __eq__(self, other):
    return isinstance(other, type(self)) and self.id == other.id

Use this at your own risk, I have no idea if there are unintended consequences.

Are you able to provide a minimal reproduction code snippet for the problem you've flagged in the first post? Would be happy to investigate if this is still an issue; it feels like you shouldn't need to resort to JS or overriding __eq__.
