I am using django-crispy-forms. One of the form field is multiple choice checkbox. In this checkbox i wanted to show some options as checked. How to do that.

choices are declared as:-

documents_req = ( ('1', 'TC'), ('2', 'Marksheet'), ('3', 'Char Cert'), ('4', 'Caste Cert') )

Form is created as following:- class AddStudentForm(forms.Form): .... .... documents_required = forms.MultipleChoiceField(choices=documents_req,required=False, widget=forms.CheckboxSelectMultiple) def init(self, *args, **kwargs): super().init(*args, **kwargs) self.helper = FormHelper() self.helper.form_class = 'form-horizontal' self.helper.form_tag = False self.helper.label_class = 'col-lg-3' self.helper.field_class = 'col-lg-8' self.helper.layout = Layout( Div( Div('email', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), Div('password', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), Div('address_1', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), css_class='form-row'), Div( Div('address_2', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), Div('city', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), Div('state', css_class='form-group col-sm-4 mb-0 border border-secondary'), css_class='form-row'), Div(

             Div(InlineCheckboxes('documents_required'),css_class='form-group col-sm-6 mb-0 border border-secondary'),
            Div('zip_code', css_class='form-group col-sm-3 mb-0 border border-secondary'),
            Div('check_me_out', css_class='form-group col-sm-3 mb-0 border border-secondary'),
            css_class='form-row')

    )

It is perfectly showing the checkboxes. But I wanted some choices let's say option 1 and 2 to be checked. How to achieve that.
