i get: exception value: name 'user' not defined

any appreciated!

you can't define @ point; there's no user in scope @ point form defined.

you need override __init__ method of form accept keyword argument user , modify choices appropriately.

class myform(forms.form):   afdeling = forms.choicefield(widget=forms.radioselect, initial='1')    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):      user = kwargs.pop('user')      super(myform, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)      self.fields['afdeling'].choices = ((user.profile.departnemt_1_number, 'afd a',), ('2', 'afd b',),) 

don't forget pass user view:

if request.method == 'post':        form = myform(request.post, user=request.user)        ...     else:        form = myform(request.post, user=request.user)     ...
